Female Lemurs Are TOXIC 🐒☣️
International Women’s Day: A day to learn and discuss about equality and inequality. Let's think about it together how we can change currently bad situations into something we can all be proud of!
And some lessons are taught by nature: Although those lemurs didn't get the message.
King Julien is a lie. If Madagascar was really accurate, it would be Queen Julia.
In the lemur world, where females take charge, we learn that leadership comes in all genders.
But they are toxic!
When researching female leadership in the animal kingdom, I bumped into this weird information that female lemurs are just..toxic.
They make it clear that they're in power, and if males don't make a submissive sound when they're around, they get bitten or smacked. It doesn’t stop there.
They eat first, by now, quite obvious. But when the food is scarce, they eat a fruit that is super hard to crack it open, so if a male manages to open it first, the female simply steals it.
And if the male complains, she slaps him to shut up. That's not all.
When the same male manages to open a second one, she steals this one too.
So, I guess we can say that The king is dead, long live the queen.
In nature, there's always a lesson waiting to be learned. 🌿
