The Madagascar Mouse Lemur
« on: May 11, 2011, 08:47:16 AM »

Julie Larsen Maher ©WCS


The Basics

Scientific name: Microcebus murinus
Diet:  Fruit, flowers, leaves, insects 
Size: Up to about 3 ounces – roughly the weight of half a stick of butter
Range: Primarily southwestern Madagascar
Habitat: Dry deciduous forest
Group living:  Solitary nighttime foragers who sleep in groups during the day
Reproduction: Usually twins
Conservation status: Lower risk
Threats: Habitat loss
 

Mastering Their Domain

This mouse lemur stores fat in its tail, and when food is scarce, it converts the fat to energy.

During the Madagascar dry season (spring to early fall), females slow down their activity and may remain dormant within tree hole nests for several months. This season of “torpor” conserves energy. Males are much more active than females during the period.

Females are dominant over males and choose their mates.
