  Lemur \Le"mur\ (l[=e]"m[u^]r), n. [L., a ghost, specter. So
     called on account of its habit of going abroad by night.]
     (Zool.)
     One of a family ({Lemurid[ae]) of nocturnal mammals allied
     to the monkeys, but of small size, and having a sharp and
     foxlike muzzle, and large eyes. They feed upon birds,
     insects, and fruit, and are mostly natives of Madagascar and
     the neighboring islands, one genus ({Galago) occurring in
     Africa. The slow lemur or kukang of the East Indies is
     Nycticebus tardigradus. See Galago, Indris, and
     Colugo.
