This lemur, as other sportive lemurs, is medium sized with a
long tail and is nocturnal.
Found in the north-east of Madagascar, the weasel sportive lemur
is solitary whilst foraging and feeds primarily on leaves, but
also on some fruit and flowers.
When first emerging from their nests at dusk these lemurs are
very noisy, making high-pitched calls.
