MAoI - white muzzled Lemur & Chib
MAoI = Miniature Art of Ileyeah (Miniature for those are all ACEOs)
Since I don't have the time to digitally colour my mammoth piece with all the critters in it, I thought about making a card for each of them, including a stylized version of it and a bit of environment.
Name: top: white muzzled lemur
Environment: rainforests
Diet: omnivore
White muzzled lemurs are small primates of Ileyeah's deep rainforest areas. They live in huge family groups, consisting of mainly females and their youngs and only a handful of males, of which only one is fully grown up. Adult males can be recognized by their full white mane.
While mainly living on a diet of fruits those lemurs will also eat insects of all kinds and occasionally plunder nests for young birds or eggs.

Name: bottom: Chib
Environment: Plainlands
Diet: herbivore
Having the size of a Maine Coon cat the Chib nonetheless belongs to the smallest grassland dwelling critters of Ileyeah. They can be compared to squirrels, only more stocky and heavy. Also Chibs don't have their nests on trees but inside thick bushes, where they will form a nest of moss, grass, fur and other soft things they find.
These solitary creatures, while good climbers, usually use their claws for digging up roots and berries from the fertile ground.

Haha, it's all good! (:
A lot of people use various primate terms interchangeably ("ape", "simian", etc.) when they are not the same as "primate"! So if English isn't your first language, I can see how it'd be even more difficult!
Primates is much better, though! Or, if you want to refer specifically to the type of primate lemurs are, they are "Prosimians"! (Because their wet noses and other features are more similar to other animals than to monkeys & other primates, so they are considered to be "early/lesser primates")
