It is named for Georges Ramanantsoavana, the first Director of Water and Forestry of Madagascar, in thanks for his support of lemur conservation. Females average about 1.02 kilograms and males about 897 grams. Its main threat is loss of habitat through deforestation for agriculture and timber, along with cyclones.
