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 the Megaladapis (an extinct giant lemur), but the details of these tales, notably the "human-like" face of the animal, match the related Palaeopropithecus (extinct) much better
  • Perplex City has tretretretres in their zoo
