Lemurs are one of the few animals that live in a matriarchal society, which means that the female lemurs have more control over the group than the male lemurs. These lemur groups however, behave in a very similar way to other primates as they feed and groom each other, as well as sleeping close to one another. It is not known why lemurs exhibit this rare form of social structure.

Adam J. ★★★★★

The matriarchal setup is honestly the coolest part—watching the females take charge feels like a whole different world from most animals. They’re surprisingly social too, and the group dynamics keep things interesting every single day.

Amelia ★★★★★

Watching the females boss the males around is honestly the best part — it’s like a tiny soap opera every afternoon. I’ve had mine for a few weeks and the matriarchal dynamic is exactly as described, keeps the whole group’s behavior surprisingly orderly.

James ★★★★☆

Bought this for my daughter's school project on matriarchal animals, and the info on female lemurs being in charge is spot-on. The group behavior details are interesting, though I wish there was a bit more on their daily habits.
