Tretretretre

General

• The tretretretre is a ledgendary half man/half lemur on the island of Madagascar
  • It was also said to be a dog/human/monkey-faced lemur with monkey paws, and was the size of a 2 year old calf
• It is often believed that Malagasy legends of the tretretretre refer to Megaladapis, but the details of these tales, notably the "human-like" face of the animal, match the related Palaeopropithecus much better
