Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Megaladapis, also known as the "giant lemur," is indeed the best known of the giant lemurs and weighed up to 170 pounds. It is known for its large size compared to modern lemurs, but it did not resemble a lizard, nor is there evidence to suggest high reproductive rates, thriving with Homo sapiens, or extinction due to malaria specifically.
