The red-fronted lemur (Eulemur rufifrons), also called the red-fronted brown lemur, is a lemur of Madagascar that lives in dry lowland forests on the west coast between the Tsiribihina and Fiheranana rivers and in eastern Madagascar from the Mangoro and Onive rivers to the Andringitra Massif. It has a head and body length of 35 to 48 cm, a tail of 45 to 55 cm and a weight of 2.2 to 2.3 kg, with a gray coat, black face and white eyebrow patches. Its diet is diverse, covering leaves, seeds, fruit, nectar and flowers. Groups of 4 to 18 show little aggression, and western populations are mainly diurnal. It was split from the red lemur in 2008.
