For the prompt “simian” I made a new edition to my ongoing series of animals with fabulous collective nouns. It’s A Conspiracy of Lemurs. These ring-tailed lemurs definitely appear to be up to something. Caught in the act of scheming. The word “lemurs” mimics their tails, of course!

The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a wet-nosed primate, endemic to Madagascar. 🧵1/n

My linocut print of a huddled group of ring-tailed lemurs looking suspiciously at the viewer. They are grey with black and white striped tails, black face and brown eyes. In black letters above it reads “A conspiracy” and in black and white striped letters below it reads “Lemurs.”

endemic to Madagascar. It lives from the forest gallery to the scrub & is omnivorous but it is sadly endangered.

They live in large groups & are very social. They huddle for warmth not to conspire… but this is an animal which engages in “stink fights” by wafting their pheromone-soaked tails at opponents so you wouldn’t want them to plot against you.

Technically “simian” only refers to monkeys and apes but I think this print still fits the theme with clever primates.
