Picture this: under Madagascar’s full moon, lemurs gather by ancient baobabs.

In this episode of Brain Bamboozle, we dive into rumblings from Madagascar: filmed scenes of lemurs dancing in precise circles around ancient baobabs, their rhythms swaying with the lunar phases. Is it a moonlight-foraging strategy, a passing cultural quirk of lemur tribes, or a glimpse into something deeper—an animal ritual aligned with the cosmos? You’ll question nature, science, and maybe even magic.

There is no evidence in the provided search results to support the claim that field researchers first observed ring-tailed lemurs near Morondava in 2023 aligning their rhythmic leaps and tail swirls precisely with moonrise. The only search result references a 2023 Nature paper on primate genome alignment and does not mention lemur behavioral observations or any such phenomenon[1]. Based on the available information, this claim cannot be verified.
