The Lemuraptor ( Lemuraptor horridus) is a species of raptor-like strepsirrhine primate and is the only living member of the Lemuraptoridae family, and is native to South Terram of Lemur Planet. They are very similar in appearance to actual dromaeosaur raptors, but there are differences, their snouts have wet noses similar to (most) lemurs, they have mammalian pronated wrists (since they're mammals), they have a slightly bulkier body, they have fur like most mammals (rather than feathers), and a long, bushy tail. Also these are of mammalian origin and not dinosaurian origin.
Ecology
The Lemuraptor's diet consists of any other land animals as large as or smaller/slightly larger than themselves, but also can hunt and kill any animals much larger than themselves, due to living in social packs that can contain around 10 lemuraptors at a time. The social structure of the lemuraptor is very similar to those of Earth carnivores like lions and wolves, with an alpha males dominating the packs due to their slightly larger and bulkier size compared with the females. The male lemuraptors also have thicker necks in case they go into fights with other males that may challenge other males to rule the packs, kill and eat any losing males' young (if they have any), and banish the losing males from the packs. The young male lemuraptors are kicked out of their packs when they're subadults, as the packs usually consists of a single males and up to 9 females, similarly to lions, and the leading males rejects them to make sure the younger males do not challenge the leaders.
