The famous singer in her author's column "Lust for Life" on WomanHit.ru spoke about a childhood dream that came true in Madagascar
“Since childhood, I dreamed of seeing Madagascar, famous for its endemics - plants and animals that live exclusively on this island. And when I finally got to an amazing piece of land in the Indian Ocean, the first thing I did was to look at lemurs. In pursuit of beautiful shots, I went away and missed the guide's story that these are tame lemurs, accustomed to taking food from human hands. The charming furry little eyes turned out to be very affectionate. The beggars jumped on their heads, shoulders, looked into the face and with the most delicate paws pulled out pieces of bananas from the guests' hands, and when they ate the banana, they licked its remnants from the palm of their hand. Due to jumping ability, sometimes similar to flight, lemurs give the impression of very light animals, therefore, when our guide, pointing to a big man flying from branch to branch, said that he weighs about 6.5 kilograms, I doubted that my cat Marik weighs 4 and looks five times smaller! Lemurs live in families - from two to seven individuals. Of the 12 species living in the Ranomafana park of the island of Madagascar, only two species are polygamous, most remain faithful to their spouse. Lemurs have a very strong sense of smell, they smell strangers from afar and do not let them come close! Both spouses are incredibly jealous, and if a guest lemur appears, the owners of the same sex fight to the death, driving out the intruder. And if suddenly the female dies, the father does not leave the family unattended - he grows up the baby, then, during the rut, he finds a new partner. Usually the female brings one cub, rarely two. Shortly before giving birth, the female builds a nest in which after the birth of the baby she spends about two weeks with him, otherwise the flock, smelling an unfamiliar smell, gets nervous and may even destroy the baby! After a couple of weeks, the smell of a new relative becomes familiar, and the mother and baby leave their shelter, moving to the family. Yes, I forgot to say! Lemurs have matriarchy!
