The Largest Pollinator in the World! by Bridger

Did you know that lemurs can be pollinators?

It’s true! Black-and-White Ruffed Lemurs pollinate the traveler’s palm tree. These trees are usually 40 feet tall! The lemurs have to pry open the flowers to get their nectar, then they stick their muzzles into the flower and use their tongue to lap up the nectar. Because they put their muzzles so deep inside the flower, they get pollen on their fur. Then when they do it again to another flower, they spread the pollen! Isn’t that cool?!
