Hubbard's sportive lemur

Hubbard's sportive lemur (Lepilemur hubbardorum), also called the Zombitse sportive lemur, is a sportive lemur endemic to southwestern Madagascar, with a total length of about 51 to 59 cm of which 23 to 25 cm is tail. It is found north of the Onilahy River and south of the Mangoky River in Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park, in dry transitional forests. It was described as a new species in 2006 when mitochondrial DNA showed it differed significantly from the red-tailed sportive lemur. An extrapolation from an 18-night survey suggests 16,500 to 18,000 individuals in the park. It is listed as endangered by the IUCN.
