Golden Brown Mouse Lemur, Anjajavy
Anjajavy is also an area where the Fat Tailed Dwarf Lemur can be found. Dwarf lemurs are the only primates known to hibernate. This extraordinary characteristic has made them the subject of study by Duke University. The research is looking at how these lemurs can slow down their vital organs in the hope it can be beneficial in space travel as well as, for example, in emergency wards.
