1. Ring-Tailed Lemur On Mothers Back Coloring PDF
When most people think of lemurs, they will probably think of ring-tailed lemurs. These are the most famous of the lemur species, and here you can see one with its little baby! Lemur females are often dominant over the males in their groups, and this is actually very unusual for primate species.
2. Cartoon Lemur With Striped Tail
Lemurs are so cute, and this cartoony one is no exception. Different lemur species come in sizes ranging from a few inches to almost 3 feet tall. However, there was once an extinct species of lemur that was the size of a modern gorilla!
3. Lemur Climbing A Bamboo Stalk
Lemurs are great at climbing and performing feats of agility, like this one climbing on a bamboo stalk. There are a few lemurs who also eat bamboo, but most lemurs eat everything from small insects to plants and even sap.
4. Lemur Eating Fruit
Something that lemurs and I share in common is that we both love to eat fruit! This adorable little lemur is very lucky to have some tasty fruit. Much like many lemurs, this one has some big eyes, and you have a few different options for the colors you could use. In fact, some lemur species are the only primate species capable of having blue eyes.
5. Lemur Family Together
This scene is so adorable, as this mother lemur is protecting her little baby. Adult lemurs are cute enough, but baby lemurs are even cuter! Lemur mothers will often look after their babies for up to six months, and they make sure that they’re ready to survive in the world.
6. Lemur Group Gathered Near A River
Like many primates, lemurs are often very social creatures. These ones are hanging out by the river to enjoy a day outside with some fruit to snack on. I wonder what kinds of lemur gossip they would have to share if we could communicate with them?
7. Lemur Hanging Upside Down
This little lemur is getting a better view of the situation by hanging from this branch by its tail. While cartoon lemurs can do this with ease, real lemurs use their tails mostly for balance and wouldn’t be able to hang out like this one.
8. Lemur Looking Around
There is so much to see in Madagascar, and this lemur is taking it all in with his big eyes! Many lemur species are nocturnal, meaning they need to have better nighttime visibility. Their big eyes allow them to see better in low-light conditions.
9. Lemurs Playing In The Jungle
It seems that these lemurs are having a very interesting conversation! There is a species of lemur called the Indri lemurs, and they actually sing with each other. This makes them one of the very few primate species that sing in this way.
10. Lemur Perched On A Branch Coloring Sheet
Do you ever get the feeling that you’re being watched? If you’re in a Madagascan jungle, then there is a good chance you may see the sight in this scene if you were to look up!
11. Lemur Resting Under A Tree
It’s time to have a nap! At least, it is for this lemur. As I mentioned before, some lemurs are nocturnal, but not all species share this trait. Some are active during the day and others are active at dawn or dusk.
12. Lemur Running Across The Ground
If you ask me, this lemur is up to mischief! Lemurs are known to be a bit mischievous, and they’ve been known to stealthily steal food from unsuspecting humans.

There is something uniquely relaxing about sitting in a bamboo forest to hear the wind rustling through the leaves. This lemur is taking a moment to enjoy this peaceful location, and now you can relax by coloring it.

I just love the look of this cute lemur! There are so many details to color on this one, and you may want to get out your colored pens and pencils to color the small details on his tail.
15. Lemur Sitting On A Rock
I wouldn’t imagine that using a rock would be particularly comfortable, but this lemur doesn’t seem to mind it all that much!
16. Lemur Sitting On A Tree Branch
The markings on a lemur’s face and body are so intricate, and you can really see those details wonderfully on this page! Will you add some additional background details?
17. Lemur Standing On Hind Legs
Most lemurs don’t walk on two legs like humans do, but they can stand up on their hind legs when they need a better view of the situation!
18. Lemur Stretching On A Branch
Lemurs need to be very active, so this one is starting his day (or night) right with some stretches before it begins jumping around.

What may seem like a boring old log to us would make for a wonderful playground for a lemur, and this one seems very pleased with this particular log!
