Western woolly lemur

The western woolly lemur, Avahi occidentalis, also called the western avahi, is one of the smallest woolly lemurs, with a head and body length near 27 to 30 centimetres and a weight of 800 to 1,100 grams. It lives in the dry deciduous forests of northwestern Madagascar in two separate ranges east and north of the Betsiboka River, including Ankarafantsika National Park. Pairs live with their offspring, and the female is dominant. It feeds mostly on young leaves and buds from about twenty plant species, which makes it hard to keep in captivity. The IUCN rates it Vulnerable and projects a large loss of its range between 2000 and 2080.
