Eastern woolly lemur

The eastern woolly lemur, Avahi laniger, also called the eastern avahi or Gmelin's woolly lemur, lives in the wet tropical rainforest and moist montane forest of eastern Madagascar. Adults measure roughly 58 to 69 centimetres including a long thin tail and weigh between 1 and 1.4 kilograms. The coat is short and dense, grey-brown to rufous above with a russet-red tail, and the ears are hidden in the fur. Groups of up to five animals are built around a monogamous breeding pair and their offspring, and the diet is mostly leaves with some fruit and flowers. The species is Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, mainly because of logging and clearing of forest for farming, and it is also poached for meat.
