Holland's sportive lemur

Mammals

Holland's sportive lemur (Lepilemur hollandorum), also known as the Mananara-Nord sportive lemur, is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar and one of 26 species in the genus Lepilemur. It is found specifically in the Mananara-Nord Biosphere Reserve, although the limits of its habitat have yet to be determined, and it lives in primary and secondary rainforests. It was described in 2009. It weighs about 1 kg, close to the weasel sportive lemur, and its coat is mottled reddish-gray from the head along the shoulders to the mid back, then a lighter grayish-brown toward the tail.
