Young lemurs struggle to survive in madagascar desert region

The southwest of Madagascar is considered a desert region. With a very dry climate and desert adapted vegetation, survival can be extremely difficult for young animals. This includes young lemurs, as food and water is even more scarce in the southwest, forcing them to use unique strategies in order to locate it. They also must tackle the threat of predators, such as the fossa (a cat like carnivore only found on the island), hawks, snakes, and even dogs. 🐒 🇲🇬
