Petter's sportive lemur (Lepilemur petteri) is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar and one of 26 species in the genus Lepilemur. It is one of the smaller sportive lemurs, with a total length of about 49 to 54 cm, of which 22 to 25 cm is tail. It is found in southwestern Madagascar, where it lives in dry spiny forests and some gallery forests. The only source read for this entry covers little beyond this size and range, so further biology is left for a later fill.
