A gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), which is endemic to Madagascar, shown here in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar. They are some of the smallest primates, with a head and body length of just 4.7 to 5.5 inches (12 – 14 cm) and a tail length of 5.1 to 5.7 inches (13 – 14.5 cm). Their long, thin lower incisors and canines make for a great dental comb used for grooming.

Zoo keeper Ding Ming has adopted an orphaned ring-tailed lemur in Shijiazhuang, capital of northern China’s Hebei Province. She made the orphan lemur an incubator, which has a ceiling bulb to keep the tiny primate warm. It also contains a large fluffy stuffed monkey to keep the youngster company. Picture: HAP/Quirky China News / Rex Features
