This paper explores the unexpected similarities between the behavior of lemurs and the existential philosophy of Sartre. Through observation and analysis of lemur social structures and individual behaviors, we uncover that these primates embody the concept of authenticity in their pursuit of food, territory, and mates. We also find that the phenomenon of "bad faith" is not exclusive to humans, as some lemurs engage in false displays of aggression or submission to manipulate their surroundings. Ultimately, this paper invites readers to reexamine their assumptions about the universality of philosophical concepts and appreciate the absurdity of existence in all forms, both human and lemurian.
