Download and print this free Lemur word search — 15 hidden words about lemurs, the primates found only on Madagascar, from their forest home in the CANOPY and TREETOP to traits like RINGTAILED and NOCTURNAL. It’s a free PDF with the answer key included, sized for standard printer paper and a natural pick for a classroom animal unit, a follow-up to a zoo visit, or a child who has just watched a Madagascar documentary.
The word list runs easy-to-medium: LEAP, TAIL and FOREST are quick finds, while ENDANGERED, NOCTURNAL and RINGTAILED take a slower scan. It suits solvers from about 7 up. Ring-tailed lemurs carry their striped tails straight up when the group is on the move, a detail young readers tend to remember.
