White footed sportive lemur

Description:

The white-footed sportive lemur is probably the smallest of the sportive lemurs, a genus of leaf-eating primates endemic to Madagascar. In overall appearance, the sportive lemurs are broadly similar. All have a small, densely furred body, big eyes, a prominent conical muzzle, and relatively long hind legs that enable them to leap from tree to tree. The head and upperparts of the white-footed sportive lemur are generally pale grey, except around the face, shoulders, upper fore and hind limbs, and tail, which tend to be more brownish. Underneath, it is whitish grey, particularly around the flanks and the base of the long, thin tail. The eyes are surrounded by whitish spectacles and the bases of the relatively large, membranous ears are marked by whitish tufts. Currently listed as data deficient on the IUCN Redlist but it is under threat from habitat destruction

Habitat:

Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland
