Lemur calls 'have rhythm'

Lemurs are native to Madagascar, and the primates, and in particular their calls, have been a source of fascination for zoologists. And now, a new report into the largest species of lemur, the indri, claims it has a very rare skill - it has rhythm!

Primatologist Chiara de Gregorio from Turin University says lemurs use rhythm in unique ways.
