Red-tailed sportive lemur

The red-tailed sportive lemur (Lepilemur ruficaudatus), also called the red-tailed weasel lemur, is a nocturnal lemur native to Madagascar that feeds largely on leaves, with some fruit. Individuals weigh about 800 g and show little sexual dimorphism. It usually lives in mated pairs sharing a home range of about 10,000 square metres, with little overlap between neighbouring pairs, and it travels only 100 m to 1 km a night, which makes it a relatively inactive species. It is found in the dry deciduous forests of Madagascar. It lacks a strong early warning system and relies on escape rather than signalling danger.
