Mittermeier's sportive lemur

Mammals

Mittermeier's sportive lemur (Lepilemur mittermeieri) is a sportive lemur, a member of the family Lepilemuridae, and it is endemic to the Ampasindava Peninsula in Madagascar. The only source read for this entry gives that single statement about the animal, so this description says no more than the source supports. Its size, diet, habitat type, conservation status and other biology are not stated there and are left for a later fill from sources that cover them.
