New Lemur Species Named After John Cleese
Wednesday, November 16th, 2005/. FruFox writes “A new species of wooly lemur has been named in honour of John Cleese in recognition of his work to protect lemurs in general. According to the article, the lemurs don’t walk, per se, but have known to do some very silly walks. Good show.” From the article: “The avahi cleesei, which weights less than two pounds and eats leaves, was discovered in Western Madagascar in 1990 by a team led by anthropologist Urs Thalmann and his colleague Thomas Geissman of Zurich University.”
