Answer 1

The old name of this country is the Malagasy Republic which is located in the Indian Ocean as an island country. It is found almost 450 kilometers from the East African coast. It is also the second-largest island country in the world.

Complete answer:
The endangered largest living lemur idri is found in Madagascar. Madagascar is known for its famous lemurs which are currently facing extinction. Lemur idri idri is the largest living lemur found in the wildlife of Madagascar. The major threat to the extinction of lemur is the deforestation and loss of habitats.

Additional Information: -The word 'Lemurs' is taken from language Latin, in which it means 'ghosts and spirits'. They are mammals that belong to the order Primates, which is further classified into 8 families and almost 100 species.
-The native place of lemurs is the Madagascar island and the majority of the lemurs existing now are tiny and have comparatively bigger eyes with a long tail. They spent a major time of the day by living upon the tree and involved in active hunting at night.
-Lemurs are similar to the other existing primates but they are evolved freely from monkeys and chimpanzees and are adapted to the seasonal climate of Madagascar.
So, the correct answer is ‘Madagascar’.

Note: -There are several fossils obtained from the islands of Madagascar which proves the existence of early humans. The fossils collected by the archeological team are dated 10,000 years ago.
-Humans started civilizations by settling in Madagascar and Hinduism and Buddhism are the early religions that existed there.
- Due to the lower metabolic rates, Lemurs often undergo hibernation, and the major diet of lemurs includes fruit leaves and small insects.
