[@sherirobinson6867]

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.
