Avahi unicolor is one of the smallest woolly lemurs and consequently among the smallest members of the family Indriidae. It has a head-body length of 23–31.0 cm, a tail length of 26.5–30.3 cm, a total length of 57.5–66.0 cm, and a weight of 700 g–1.0 kg (E. E. Louis Jr., pers. obs.). According to Thalmann and Geissmann (2000), the coat is woolly and the dorsal color is a sandy brownish-gray. The tail may be a darker grayish-brown or more reddish-brown, although the base of the tail tends to be lighter, even cream-colored. There is a triangular beige- or cream-colored pygal patch. The ventral coat is thinner than the dorsal coat and a lighter gray. The face is only slightly paler than the head and back, with short and straight hair, giving the impression of a facial ring or mask. The snout is hairless and black, the fur at the corners of the mouth whitish, and the eyes maroon. \([\dots]\) https://lemursofmadagascar.com
