The American colobus lemur (Neocolobolemur palliatus) is a species of adapiform primate, despite its name, 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 lion-tailed lemur greatly resembles the mantled guereza (Colobus guereza) of Africa in size, build, tail shape, and coloration, most likely to simulate convergent evolution. It has a distinctive appearance; the long white fringes of hair that run along each side of its black trunk are known as a mantle. Its face is framed with white hair and it has a large white tail tuft. The American colobus lemur is diurnal and arboreal, found in both deciduous and evergreen forests. It is an adaptable species that can cope with habitat disturbance and prefers secondary forest close to rivers or lakes. Although the American colobus lemur primarily feeds on leaves, it also eats seeds, fruits, and arthropods. It is able to digest plant material with a high fibre content with its specialised stomach and may only eat from a few plant species at a time. The American colobus lemur lives in social groups of three to fifteen individuals. These groups normally include a dominant male, several females, and the offspring of the females. It has a polygynous mating system and copulation is initiated with vocal communication. After a gestation period of just over five months, infants are born with pink skin and white fur, which darkens to the adult coloration by three to four months. The American colobus lemur is well known for its dawn chorus, the males' "roar" is a method of long-distance communication that reinforces territorial boundaries. It also makes other vocalization and uses body postures and movements to communicate. The conservation status of the American colobus lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American colobus lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
