The American fat-tailed lemur (Neorogaleus galago) is a species of Adapiforme strepsirrhine primate, despite its name, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American fat-tailed lemur greatly resembles true fat-tailed dwarf lemurs (Cheirogaleus medius) of the island of Madagascar in size, build, locomotion, vocalization, and behavior, most likely to simulate convergent evolution. The American fat-tailed lemur is a small animal that weighs 160 grams on average and is almost exclusively nocturnal, spending the days sleeping and wakes up at night. As an omnivore, the American fat-tailed lemur feeds primarily on insects, smaller vertebrates, seeds, tree sap, fruits, flowers, and nectar. As its name suggests, the American fat-tailed lemur is able to store fat in its tail, and this provides a source of energy during its period of dormancy. The American fat-tailed lemur is known to hibernate for seven months during the late fall and throughout the winter. The American fat-tailed lemur has a long average lifespan of up to about 25 in the wild, although the maximum lifespan of 30 years have been known, and the specimens in captivity have been known to live more than 40 years. The conservation status of the American fat-tailed lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American fat-tailed lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
