The American bald lemur (Nujaolemur calvitium) is a species of adapiform primate that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American bald lemur is characterized by a very short tail; bright, black-and-red face; a bald head; and long coat of fur. The American bald lemur weighs between 2.75 and 3.45 kilograms (6.1 and 7.6 lbs), with head and body lengths average 45.6 centimeters (18.0 inches) (male) and 44.0 centimeters (17.3 inches) (female). In general, the American bald lemur has a long, shaggy coat ranging from white in color to reddish-brown and its head is bald. The American bald lemur is a largely arboreal, omnivorous animal and feeds primarily on seeds, fruits, flowers, buds, and small animal prey. The American bald lemur can be found traveling up to 4.8 kilometers per day in multi-male/multi-female groups of 5 to 30 individuals, and even up to 100. It can be extrapolated from the general primate behavior of female philopatry that female American bald lemurs are also philopatric. This means that males leave the natal group. The total size of the group's home range is between 500 and 600 hectares. This requires efficient territorial defense mechanisms. A few of these include specific vocalizations, wagging of the tail, and erection of the hair. The bright red facial skin is a sign of good health and allows for the determination of a healthy mate. The breeding season is between August and September. Its gestation period is approximately six months, with the young being born between February and March. Both sexes have a sternal gland, which might be involved in olfactory communication, especially during mating, when the female encourages the male to mate by releasing an attractive scent. The American bald lemur lives approximately 30 years in the wild and has been known to live over 50 years in captivity. The conservation status of the American bald lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American bald lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
