Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park
Discovery Island
All Ages
Swing by and spot these playful primates native to the island of Madagascar!
Living among the lush forests and towering tree canopies of Africa’s largest island, lemurs are some of the oldest species of primate in the world. Often confused with monkeys, these amazing animals belong to a separate group of primates called prosimians and gather in social “troops,” usually led by the females.
At Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, you may find a lemur munching on some of its favorite foods like crunchy peas, sticky oranges and sweet potatoes. Or you might spot one jumping from tree to tree after it has sunned its belly during an afternoon nap.
Stroll along Discovery Island Trails and see how many of these leaping lemurs you may encounter!
Lemur populations are threatened by hunting and the illegal wildlife trade, as well as habitat loss and fragmentation.
The Walt Disney Company is committed to saving wildlife and protecting the magic of nature together as a global community. In Madagascar, the Disney Conservation Fund* supports nonprofit organizations working with communities living in and near lemur habitats. These efforts increase overall community welfare, empower conservation leaders and help plant trees, which provide crucial resources for both the human and animal populations.
Stroll down tranquil pathways around the Tree of Life—and be on the lookout for real-live animals.
