Well, not the lemurs themselves, but some pretty darn close friends. Joining the likes of Harrison Ford (who had a spider named after him - the Calponia Harrisonford if you're interested) and Elvis (dinosaur), lemur-mad John Cleese has been honoured by having an animal named after him. According to Urs Thalmann, who discovered the species, the A_vahi Cleesei_ is a long-legged animal known for enjoying "silly jumps". Sounds like a match made in comedy lemur heaven.
