The eating of clay and the ability to ingest plant toxins without ill effect are linked and should be noted in the article.--Wetman (talk) 01:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Needs new photo.

edit

The species photo shown on this page is not of Common Brown Lemurs (Eulemur fulvus fulvus), but of what seems to be Red-Fronted Lemurs (Eulemur rufifrons). I also noticed that the White-Fronted Lemur page (aka White-Headed Lemur) features a photo of what seems to be a female Gray-Headed Lemur.

I don't have any of my own photos of this species that are of a high enough quality to be uploaded to Wikipedia, but I feel that this is a rather important issue. The incorrectly labeled photos are seriously misrepresenting the appearances of these pretty distinctive species.

I'm planning to revise the actual articles with more information and descriptions, but if anyone could contribute accurate photographs it would be greatly appreciated! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemurness (talkcontribs) 04:49, 9 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

You appear to be correct, and I have made the appropriate changes on all pages involved, as well as updated the descriptions for the individual images on Commons. Thanks for the sharp eye! (It looks like I need to start double-checking all the lemur images... something I've been meaning to do. <sigh>)
Anyway, keep up the good work! And be sure to reference any factual updates to the lemur articles, otherwise when I come through and do my re-writes, I may omit facts I can't confirm. From your past edits, it appears that you mostly use "Lemurs of Madagascar," whereas I'm now using 8 or 9 lemur/primate books as references, some more recent that "Lemurs of Madagascar," so keep that in mind too. –Visionholder (talk) 13:17, 9 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
