Female Black Lemurs (also known as Eulemur macaco). The black lemur is one of 28 species of lemurs, which are relatives to monkeys and apes and is so called True lemur. The black lemur got its name from a male coloration which is black, while female is brown. The difference in the colors between male and female black lemurs is unique for lemurs.
