What animal is Mort from the movie Madagascar?

Mort is a mouse lemur.Lemurs are very diverse, with 5 families, 15 genera, and 99 species and subspecies known to science (as of 2008). Mouse lemurs are just one type of lemur, and are very distinct from the commonly-known Ring-tailed Lemur, both in size and appearance. However, the 16 or more mouse lemur species themselves are nearly indistinguishable visually. They are considered to be cryptic species. Therefore, unless DreamWorks Animation formally states that Mort was based on a specific species, we have to assume that this fictional, cartoonish character is simply based off of a general mouse lemur.Internet rumor, likely started on someone's blog, contends that Mort is a Goodman's Mouse Lemur, noting similarities in appearance based off images on the web. However, there is nothing else to support this, and given that mouse lemurs are visually indistinguishable, this rumor is false. Regardless, it has spread around the web and is now considered by many fans to be the truth. However, the strongest case against this claim (crypsis aside) is that the movie "Madagascar" was released in theaters on May 27, 2005, whereas the discovery of the Goodman's Mouse Lemur was reported in August 2005.Mort is a mouse lemur.Lemurs are very diverse, with 5 families, 15 genera, and 99 species and subspecies known to science (as of 2008).

Does anyone know what the children's TV programme was called that was presented by two brothers and also starred a lemur and I think it was American and Zooloo seems to ring a bell but I'm not sure?

This was a popular program on Discovery Kid's Network. This show starred a ring-tailed lemur named Zooloo and his owners. This show was popular in the 2004-2008 until Discovery Kid's Network was taken off the air of many television companies. At this time there is no T.V. Show title listed, but many kids who grow up watching this show, remember the lemur's friends, the adventures to different countries, and the snack machine the lemur used to get a healthy snack.
