Primate found in Madagascar and surrounding islands (5)

I believe the answer is:

lemur

(Other definitions for lemur that I've seen before include "Animal with foxy face and long furry tail" , "Madagascan primate" , "Monkey-like creature of Madagascar" , "Arboreal animal" , "Shade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
