Pachylemur is an extinct, giant lemur most closely related to the ruffed lemurs of genus Varecia. Two species are known, Pachylemur insignis and Pachylemur jullyi, although there is some doubt as to whether or not they may actually be the same species. Pachylemur is sometimes referred to as the giant ruffed lemur, because although it and the living ruffed lemurs had similar teeth and skeletons, Pachylemur was more robust and as much as three to four times larger. DNA studies have confirmed a sister group relationship between these two types of lemur. Like living ruffed lemurs, Pachylemur specialized in eating fruit, and was therefore an important seed disperser, possibly for tree species with seeds too large for even ruffed lemurs to swallow. In the spiny thickets of southwestern Madagasca

  • Pachylemur — род субфоссильных лемуров семейства лемуровых. Описаны два вида; ряд исследователей, опираясь на большое сходство зубного аппарата, считает, что эти виды должны быть включены в род Varecia, несмотря на то, что вымершие виды были в три-четыре раза крупнее современных. (ru)
  • Ο παχυλεμούριος (Pachylemur) είναι εξαφανισμένο γένος λεμούριου που είχε στενότερη συγγένεια με τους περιλαιμιοφόρους λεμούριους (γένος ). Τα δύο είδη του γένους, Pachylemur insignis και Pachylemur jullyi, είναι γνωστά από υποαπολιθωμένα κατάλοιπα που βρέθηκαν σε τοποθεσίες της κεντρικής και νοτιοδυτικής Μαδαγασκάρης. Ενδεχομένως επιβίωσε στο νότιο άκρο της Μαδαγασκάρης έως το 1280-1420 ΚΕ. (el)
  • Pachylemur ist eine ausgestorbene Gattung der Primaten aus der Familie der Gewöhnlichen Makis (Lemuridae), die bis vor mindestens 1000 Jahren auf der Insel Madagaskar lebte. Das Skelett von Pachylemur ähnelt stark dem der Varis, und manchmal werden die Tiere in dieselbe Gattung (Varecia) eingeordnet. Ihr Schädel war allerdings etwas größer (rund 11 bis 13 Zentimeter lang) und breiter gebaut, auch die Gliedmaßen waren etwas robuster, was auf eine stärker terrestrische Lebensweise hindeutet. Ihr Gewicht wird auf rund 8 bis 10 Kilogramm geschätzt. Die Nahrung dürfte aus Früchten und eventuell auch aus härterem pflanzlichen Material bestanden haben. (de)
  • Pachylemur es un lémur gigante extinto estrechamente relacionado con los lémures rufos del género Varecia. Se conocen dos especies: el Pachylemur insignis y el Pachylemur jullyi, aunque existen dudas en cuanto a si en realidad pueden ser de la misma especie. Los Pachylemur son referidos a veces como lémures rufos gigantes, porque a pesar de que estos y los lémures rufos todavía existentes tienen dientes y esqueletos similares, el Pachylemur era más robusto y hasta tres o cuatro veces más grande. Los estudios de ADN han confirmado una relación de grupo hermano entre estos dos tipos de lémures. Al igual que los lémures rufos todavía existentes, los Pachylemur se especializaban en comer frutas, y eran por lo tanto un importante dispersor de semillas, posiblemente de especies de árboles con se (es)

  • Pachylemur är ett utdött släkte primater i familjen lemurer med två kända arter. De levde på Madagaskar och dog ut för cirka 1000 år sedan eller något tidigare. I skelettets konstruktion liknar Pachylemur arterna i släktet varier (Varecia). I några avhandlingar sammanfogas båda släkten till ett enda släkte. Hos Pachylemur är skallen med en längd på 11 till 13 cm lite större och bredare. De mera robusta extremiteterna tyder på att dessa primater ofta vistades på marken. Deras vikt uppskattas med 8 till 13 kg. Troligen åt de frukter och andra växtdelar. (sv)
