Mirza coquereli

Animalia, Cheirogaleidae, EN

Mirza coquereli is a small nocturnal lemur with a long body and a long tail. It has a head-body length averaging 25 cm, a tail length of 31–32 cm, a total length of 56–57 cm, and a body weight of 300–320 g (Pagès, 1978; Stanger et al., 1995; Kappeler et al., 2005). The dorsal coat is rich brown or gray-brown, but rose or yellow shades are often found as well. Ventrally, the gray hair base is visible beneath rusty or yellow tips. The tail, which is longer than the body, is thin but has long hair, giving it a slightly “bushy” appearance, and it is darker towards the tip. The large, evident ears, and its quadrupedal running, serve to distinguish Mirza from Cheirogaleus, which has more concealed ears and is slower moving. Mirza can be distinguished from sympatric Microcebus species by its much larger size and very distinctive ears, and from sympatric Lepilemur by its much smaller size, prominent ears, and more rapid quadrupedal movements. \([\dots]\) https://lemursofmadagascar.com
