OK, it's come to my attention
that there is a family of lemurs called the gentle lemurs, and another family of lemurs called the sportive lemurs. What I want to know is, are these lemurs named after their behaviour? Are most lemurs more vicious than the gentle lemurs, and are the sportive lemurs particularly good at sports, or what?

I imagine that when the sportive lemur family pass the gentle lemur family on the street they mutter offensive things
and the gentle lemur family keep thinking about reporting the sportive lemurs to the lemur authorities, but never quite get it together.

It's a curious choice of name
I will ask someone tomorrow as to why!
