Eulemur macaco

(Linnaeus, 1766), Animalia, Lemuridae, VU

Eulemur macaco is a medium-sized lemur with a head-body length of 39–45 cm, a tail length of 51–65 cm, a total length of 90–110 cm, and a weight of 1.8–1.9 kg (Terranova and Coffman, 1997; C. Schwitzer, pers. obs.). This species is sexually dichromatic. In males, the dorsal coat varies from dark chocolate-brown to black. The ventral coat is similarly colored. The ears have prominent tufts of long black hair. In females, the dorsal coat varies from golden-brown to chestnut-brown, lighter on the flanks but darker on the tail. The ventral coat is typically creamy white on the abdomen grading to cinnamon on the chin, and this coloration may continue to just below the eyes and ear tufts. The face is gray to black, the crown a darker charcoal-gray, and the ears are tufted with long white hairs. The eyes of both sexes are yellow-orange to deep orange. \([\dots]\) https://lemursofmadagascar.com
