The fat-tailed lemur is the only known primate to hibernate for extended periods of time, up to seven months. It performs this [[torpor]] during the dry season to minimise the impacts of droughts. During the wet season, it gorges on food, accumulating a fat reserve in its tail. By the beginning of torpor, the tail accounts for up to 40% of its body weight.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fat-tailed Dwarf Lemur |url=https://lemur.duke.edu/discover/meet-the-lemurs/fat-tailed-dwarf-lemur/ |access-date=2024-05-22 |website=Duke Lemur Center |language=en}}</ref>
