Transcript

00:00

[ musical flourish ]

00:03

And here's your Shmoop du jour, brought to you by ring-tailed lemurs.

00:06

It looks like someone liked them and decided to put a ring on it. [three lemurs dancing]

00:09

Yeah. [ chuckles ]

00:11

All right, check out the following passage.

00:12

[ mumbles ]

00:21

All right. According to the passage,

00:23

the ring-tailed lemur, uh... what?

00:26

And here are the potential answers,

00:27

mumbled in lemur.

00:29

[ animalistic noises ]

00:33

We can send answer C back to the school, [students working on computer]

00:35

because, uh, well, the passage tells us that

00:37

ring-tailed lemurs have smaller brain-to-body size ratios

00:40

than gorillas, but doesn't

00:41

tell us about other lemurs.

00:43

Not to toot our own horns, but we know a good

00:45

place to get help with that. [ clears throat ] Yeah.

00:48

We can eliminate answers D and A,

00:50

because the passage doesn't tell us [two lemurs watching a video on the computer]

00:52

anything about the sizes of other lemurs

00:54

or how common ring-tailed lemurs are.

00:58

We can tell you that we're hoping

00:59

for an adorable invasion of giant lemurs...

01:02

Someday... We can dream. [a giant lemur walking in the city]

01:03

All right, well, that means answer B is our correct one.

01:06

Ring-tailed lemurs are the most

01:07

widely recognized species of lemur.

01:10

That's good news when it comes to getting treats from tourists,

01:13

but, uh, bad news when everyone at the primate family

01:15

reunion, uh, tells your mom about it. [a lemur wearing a golden hair wig]

01:17

[ animal noise ]
