VOICE: Rising, quizzical “whooey” that sounds like some calls of Common Myna (page 176). Also gives quiet grunts and a series of pure, whistled notes.
BEHAVIOUR: Similar to Brown Lemur, although generally more retiring and difficult to see.
WHERE TO SEE: Ranomafana NP, including along the main trails. Also occurs in Andasibe- Mantadia NP, but much less common there.
