Other countries are taking note, with rumors of tree-surfing koalas in Australia and sloths in Costa Rica. Madagascar remains the birthplace of this trend, but who knows where it will branch out next?

Future Prospects: Olympic Aspirations?

Disclaimer: Don’t Rush to Madagascar Just Yet

Before you book your flight to Madagascar to witness these surfing lemurs, remember, this is a satirical piece. While Madagascar’s lemurs are indeed incredible creatures, they’re sticking to their usual arboreal antics, not catching waves in the treetops. So, for now, keep your surfing dreams to the oceans and leave all the bull alone.
