Lepilemur leucopus

Animalia, Lepilemuridae, EN

Lepilemur leucopus is one of the smallest sportive lemurs, with a head-body length of 19–26 cm, a tail length of 22–26 cm, a total length of 41–52 cm, and a body weight of 500–700 g (Russell, 1977; Louis et al., 2006b; Garbutt, 2007). The dorsal coat, including the head, is pale gray tending toward brown at the shoulders, upper forelimbs, and upper thighs, while the underside is grayish-white and often conspicuous along the flanks and around the base of the tail, even when the animal is clinging to a vertical support. The tail is grayish-brown. The face is grayish-brown, and the eyes are marked by whitish spectacles. The ears are relatively large, rounded and have whitish tufts at their bases. This species is sympatric with Microcebus and Cheirogaleus. \([\dots]\) https://lemursofmadagascar.com
