help me find lemur picture (mspaint inc.)

[_TKO_]

I took a class a few years ago where we learned about some species of lemur that lives in the desert. The defining feature of these lemurs is the way they stand in groups. You will always see one lemur facing in the opposite direction to spot oncoming predators. I'm looking for the name of the species and a real-life pic would be great.

This is a lemur:


This is my best mspaint representation of the pic I'm looking for:


If you can help, great. If you just wanna talk about lemurs, go for it. If you hate my mspaint, mspaint it and make it better.

I really hope this thread turns out awesome for some reason

do you think that an mspaint makes googletarding ok? this isn't bbv. third hit on google for 'desert lemur': southern fat tailed dwarf lemur aka spiny desert dwarf lemur.

A) I totally know the picture you're talking about. Not going to look for it, though.

B) I love lemurs.

Are you talking about meerkats?

meercats

[AngusThermopyle]

Are you talking about meerkats (not lemurs, members of mongoose family)?

Sorry NT, this isn't what I was looking for. It was a meerkat, as other posters have mentioned.

This is pretty much the pic I was thinking of (thanks Jubilant):



Lemurs are much cuter.

LOL meerkats and lemurs aren't even close. Why wouldn't you just mention Timon!? BTW at the National Zoo they have positioned the meerkats within view of a leopard cat and they will stand watch when the leopard cat paces around its cage, it's pretty neat.
