Where does the Lepilemur live?
Lepilemur is a genus of sportive lemurs, which are medium-sized primates that live only on the island of Madagascar.
There are many species of sportive lemurs, each with a different distribution and habitat.
For example, the northern sportive lemur (Lepilemur septentrionalis), also known as the Sahafary sportive lemur or northern weasel lemur.
It is one of the smallest and most endangered species of sportive lemurs.
The natural habitat of the northern sportive lemur consists of small patches of deciduous forests north of the Irodo River, near the villages of Madirobe and Ankarongana in the Sahafary region and in the immediate vicinity of Andrahona, which is a small mountain that arises out of lowlands south of Antsiranana.
It spends most of the day sleeping in tree holes or dense bundles of vines.
Most sleep sites are 6 to 8 m above ground, but some have been found as low as 1 m.
The northern sportive lemur is critically endangered due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation caused by human activities such as slash-and-burn agriculture, logging, and charcoal production.
It is also hunted for food by local people.
