Not only do lemurs have long tails‚ but their tails are black and white with a horizontal pattern‚ however there is one species of lemurs that do not have long tails. It is true that I have never seen a lemur before‚ but that is because I do not live in Madagascar according to the book. With that being said‚ lemurs could be classified as “Strepsirrhini”‚

In modern day‚ lots of primates still exist in specific regions. For instance‚ ring-tailed lemur is one of non-human primates from strepsirrhini

How do primates represent spatial information mentally and use this information for navigation? Researchers have proposed two major mental map representations of space in non-human primates. In a route-based or topological spatial representation map‚ primates have ideal pathways that they make use of repeatedly. Route-based makes also consist of discrete chosen landmarks as reference points to arrive at numerous locations from distinct directions (Urbani‚ 2009). In comparison‚ euclidean (coordinate-based)
