Thomas' dwarf lemur is a species of dwarf lemur in the genus Cheirogaleus that is known only from the Anosy region of Madagascar. It lives in forested regions along the coast. Very little has been published about the animal, and the Wikipedia article on it is a short entry that gives only its range and general habitat. It belongs to the family Cheirogaleidae, the group that holds the dwarf and mouse lemurs, the smallest of all primates, all of which live exclusively on the island of Madagascar. This entry records the little that is established and leaves its other attributes open for later sourcing.
