The gray-headed lemur (Eulemur cinereiceps) is a medium-sized, cathemeral lemur of the family Lemuridae that lives in south-eastern Madagascar, from the Manampatrana River south to the Mananara River. Until a taxonomic revision in 2008 it was known as the white-collared brown lemur, and before 2001 it was treated as a subspecies of the common brown lemur. Satellite imagery in 2005 showed only about 700 square kilometres of habitat remaining within its range. Hunting and habitat loss threaten it, it is listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, and it was named among the 25 most endangered primates in the world.
