    I’m curious about the assertion that this is ‘to protect themselves from malaria carrying mosquitoes’. How do the scientists know this is the motivation, rather than a helpful side-effect?

      Not too mention the implication that lemurs know what malaria is. What else have these scientists been hiding from us???
