摘要: I describe the positional behavior of four species Malagasy lemur (Propithecus diadema, Eulemur fulvus rufus, rubriventer,and Varecia variegata)at two times year at Ranomafana National Park,Madagascar. There were significant seasonal differences in locomotor all except P. diademaAmong lemurids, leaping was more frequent and quadrupedism less dry season. Only E. rubriventerexhibited posture, there few support use. The observed not result activity budget or microhabitat use attributable to variation resource
