A Lemur Queen Gives a Masterclass in Troop Leadership 👑 Gangs of Lemur Island | Smithsonian Channel

Crystal may rule the strongest lemur troop, but that also poses additional threats to her reign, as she fends off challenges from within. The fact that she’s held on this long without losing ground to rival troops, is a testament to her fierce authority.

Interesting that a Female I in charge of the group (troup?).

[@quesadilla9957]

It’s not* as uncommon as you may believe!

[@Watermelon43564]

It’s an isolated incident in the animal kingdom. Not the norm.

[@quesadilla9957]

@@Watermelon43564 This is utterly false. What’s even the point of spreading fake information like this? 🤦‍♂️ The majority of lemur species are led by females, anyways, so how is this an “isolated incident” even if you meant within lemurs?

Ring-taled lemurs and chlorocebuses are the only primates with matriarchy. All the others are patriarchal

[@SweetCheeseVA]

Uh, it definitely isn't isolated. There are plenty of matriarchal societies in the animal kingdom.
