DISTRIBUTION: Found in a small area of northern Madagascar in primary and secondary Sambirano forest, timber plantations, and areas of mixed cultivation and forest. Seems more tolerant of disturbance than many lemurs.
ID: All-black male is unique. The female with its overall brown coloration and white facial tufts is also unmistakable within its range.
VOICE: Most common call is a distressed squeal, often given by a group in concert.
BEHAVIOUR: Much like other Eulemur species. Feeds mainly on fruit, and is active both day and night. A single young is born between September and November.
WHERE TO SEE: In Lokobe NP on Nosy Be, or on a tourist excursion to Nosy Komba, where a tame group of lemurs seems to subsist mainly on handouts.
