Scott's sportive lemur (Lepilemur scottorum), also known as the Masoala sportive lemur, is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar and one of 26 species in the genus Lepilemur. It has greyish brown fur and a black-tipped tail. It is named in honor of the Suzanne and Walter Scott Jr. Foundation. The only source read for this entry gives little beyond its appearance and naming, so its size, habitat type, diet and conservation status are left for a later fill from sources that state them.
