The Duke Lemur Center database (all PDF - sorry friends) contains life history profile data on approximately 4300 lemurs from over 40 different taxa, as first published in this Nature article.

The data goes back to 1966, and also includes newly updated data from 2019.

Lemurs are the most endangered vertebrates on earth, and are only found in the wild in Madagascar. The endangerment of lemurs has been linked to the destruction of their habitat.

Lemurs are all around amazing animals, and can range in size from 2.5 inches tall to 2.5 feet tall, live in a female-dominated society, and the blue-eyed black lemur is the only other primate on earth (besides humans) to have blue eyes.

update -- I've created a lightly wrangled dataset that combines the animal_list and weight raw files from the Duke Lemur Center and uploaded them to Kaggle here: https://www.kaggle.com/jessemostipak/duke-lemur-center-data.
