Résumé : |
Over the past decade it has become abundantly clear that levels of predation on lemurs are much higher than previously surmised. These predators vary from large carnivores (Cryptoprocta ferox) that prey on large diurnal and medium-sized nocturnal primates smaller diurnal carnivores (e.g. Galidia elegans)that take nocturnal primates from day nests , and diurnal birds of prey (e.g. Polyboroides radiatus, Buteo brachypterus, Accipiter henstii)that feed on both nocturnal and diurnal lemurs to nocturnal owls (e.g. Tyto alba, T. soumagnei, Asio madagascariensis)that feed on small to medium-sized nocturnal primates . In addition, snakes, particularly boa constrictors, have been reported to feed on Malagasy prosimians , although well documented acts of predation are few. Herein we report an incident of snake predation on the gentle bamboo lemur (Hapalemur griseus griseus. |
