The collared brown lemur (Eulemur collaris) is a medium-sized strepsirrhine primate and one of twelve species of brown lemur in the family Lemuridae. It lives in tropical moist lowland and montane forests of south-eastern Madagascar, including littoral forests such as Sainte Luce and Andohahela National Park. It is arboreal and cathemeral, eats the fruit of more than 100 plant species, and lives in multi-male, multi-female groups of two to seventeen animals. Adults weigh about 2.25 to 2.5 kg, and males and females differ in colour. The IUCN lists it as Endangered, with slash-and-burn agriculture, charcoal production, hunting and the pet trade as threats.
