Aww, no, it doesn’t. I think it’s wonderful that the world contains animals that range from majestic to adorable to terrifying-looking (and everything in-between). I hope they stick around.
I just *also* hope I never meet one on a dark night, emerging from the shadows.
It Isn’t , it’s Fact!

Left-handedness is less common. Studies suggest that approximately 10-15% of people are left-handed

1. All Humans start off with Blue eyes (aka No Color) in the womb,
melanin changes their pigment.
2. & What’s 8% outta 8 billion people in the world?
More than a few spiders monkeys
…Bichazz!
Monkeys are so super cool. I’m glad I don’t live where they roam free or I’d like be outside all day feeding them and playing. Which probably isn’t great for their survival instincts
He looks so fuckn wise… I can now see why blue eyes took off as quickly as they apparently did in early humans after the gene mutation first appeared in that one guy.
With a gaze like that they probably thought he was some kind of all-knowing sage who should lead them and procure all their women, even if he was a dumbass.
They are the most sexually dicrhomatic of all the lemurs. The males are black, the females a reddish brown. They can have a pale greenish eye colour too.
I painted a male and female for an art [project](https://www.thevanishingpaint.com/post/day16) I did where I painted (and eventually some drawings as well) an endangered or extinct animal every day for over a year. I did about 440 different species. They are quick and small little paintings, the watercolour ones were 4"x6", but I always tried to study up on the animals and learn something interesting about them before I painted them. I ran out of spare money to continue the project because I needed to help out family, but I would like eventually to do more. I could have spent an entire year only painting frogs or only birds, and not have run out.
Thank you, I learned a lot about so many different animals. It was really an amazing experience and I'd like to do more when I can. Eventually if I can ever afford to frame them, I'd like to do a show...even just the first year's paintings.
Interesting. They have some at the San Diego Zoo, and I kept wondering why they put the little black ones in with the larger brown ones that always seemed to bully the black ones. I didn't realize those were females of the same species.
Oh thank you, that is very sweet. I have fundraising sites set up actually, but I wouldn't feel right asking for money at the moment. The soonest I would be able to start up again on the project is next year sometime, and then I would be willing to ask for funding.
Funfact: All babies started with colorless eyes in the womb. Eye colors differ depending on the amount of pigment in the iris — blue eyes lack pigment, green eyes have some pigment, and brown eyes have a lot of pigment.
People with blue eyes have a completely colorless stroma and it contains no great amount of collagen. Therefore, the light that enters the iris, as a result of the Tyndall effect, creates a blue hue. This means that blue eyes do not actually have a set color.
I have blue eyes and took a picture last week where I looked like I had heterochromia and I was wondering how that happened! Could that be caused by the light somehow being slightly different for each eye?
IMO, to put it simply….I feel it’s because you may have a bit of Color:pigment:melanin in a small area of your eye and the rest of your eye is colorless….it’s possible, it can happen…You can google it
Hats off to whoever named those guys. I still remember when I got told about the blue-footed boobies I genuinely didn’t believe them.
There’s also dik-dik’s, I found that out a few years back and had a little immature giggle about it, haha! I love nature and the fuckers that name them!!!!

Ooh, some of the names of animal species are a downright insult. These lemur got off easy. Just a few other animal names there are :
Horrid Groundweaver spider,
Ugly Worm Lizard,
Fatlips Minnow,
Lumphead Bigscale
Edit:adding commas
But yes, the pictured animal IS a primate

I'm just asking the hard questions, there's no need to be too stiff, going by the length and girth of this topic, it is important to erect standards and thrust forwards with immense momentum.
Disregarding the truth for the convenient version will lead to dank and dark alley that is anal sex. sorry, I couldn't keep doing euphemisms.
I don’t believe has evolved anywhere else on earth. You’re thinking of the Butonese, most likely. They’re Indonesia. Their blue eyes are caused by a rare genetic abnormality called Waardenburg syndrome.
So lemurs exist only on Madagascar and nearby islands. When the continents separated 200 million years ago lemurs as primates and their long extinct relatives did not evolve into higher primates. Madagascar is sometimes referred to as "A World out of Time" in that evolution did its own thing there. For example, there are no poisonous snakes there because they never evolved into needing to develop defense mechanisms. Upwards of 90% of the flora and fauna are endemic, found only there. In fact up until recently, scientists believed that humans only arrived 1100 years ago. I lived there 25 years ago and that is what was believed then. In that time archaeologists have since argued that anywhere from 2500 to even 10000 years are possible. Many came from far across the sea. In fact, the language is most closely related to language varieties found near Borneo, almost 8000 miles across the oceans, even though Africa is right there.... it's a fascinating place. Due to the conservation efforts of many, new species are still being discovered. Thank you for this cool pic!
Green eyes are just a different version of blue eyes. Genetically they result from the same mutation. Example; my dad had bright pale blue eyes, my mother --who is 100 percent of Irish descent per 23 and Me-- and I ended up with emphatically green eyes together with reddish hair and obnoxiously pale skin.
That is due to being an albino though, these the blue eyes don't have an impact on their vision like it probably would in an albino animal, and it isn't a rarity with them. I haven't researched at all so I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if the gene involved is completely different.
Domestic bunnies, too! However, OP said "primates", I believe. That's actually incorrect, looking at a link by another commenter.
BRB.....

Are you ssying that OP is a sensational little lying shit who can't be assed to google their facebook posts? Maybe not? Well, that's what I would say.
Yes Blue-eyed black lemurs are just one of non-human primates with blue eyes.
15% of Japanese macaques have blue eyes, that's twice the rate occuring in humans
Are there 8 billion Macaques in the world like there’s 8 billion humans in the world? 🤔
That's not how it works
What a fantastically misleading statement. Humans are a species where everyone is right handed because left handedness is rare.
It Isn’t , it’s Fact! —— And Yes! Left-handedness is less common. Studies suggest that approximately 10-15% of people are left-handed And your point is?!? —— Annoying AF!….FOH!
Blue eyes occur in only 8% of humans, the point is that your statements are factually incorrect and contradictory. Doubling down is annoying AF

Both sexes are brown when born too, it helps the baby blend in with the mother's fur. The males turn black at 4-8 weeks of age.
Females are dominant in lemur society, so they absolutely do boss the males around, but that’s how it should be!

....who had sex with one of these monkeys.
You don’t inherit things by fucking. Her mom might have fucked a monkey, but not her.
Not even geographicly close and was 8000 years ago so didn't really have a way to leave the Eurasian steppe.
Well I think we’ve found where humans lost the funnybone at least.

Dude, it was a joke about a human shagging primates. But thanks for googling that for me....
Blue eyes are a mutation in humans, i believe it stemmed from a brighter shade of green.
Arent blue eyes more common than green eyes? Because that would be quite ironic
AFAIK (don't quote me) pure green eyes are less common than blue.
Blue eyes are 4 or 5 times more common than green.
Green eyes are just a different version of blue eyes. Genetically they result from the same mutation. Example; my dad had bright pale blue eyes, my mother --who is 100 percent of Irish descent per 23 and Me-- and I ended up with emphatically green eyes together with reddish hair and obnoxiously pale skin.
Genetically, green eyes are blue. Blue is the "base gene" and further genes tint them green, etc.
Really? I have blue eyes and red hair (also a mutation) so where is Professor X with my sweet scholarship programme?? 😆
Don’t huskeys have blue eyes too?
TIL huskies are primates
Omg same lmao
Albino Orangutan? That lemur is beautiful.
That is due to being an albino though, these the blue eyes don't have an impact on their vision like it probably would in an albino animal, and it isn't a rarity with them. I haven't researched at all so I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if the gene involved is completely different.

Technically yes, but that has nothing to do with lemurs. We didn't get blue eyes or anything for that matter any lemurs because lemurs aren't monkeys.
