gray mouse lemur


Found only in Madagascar, the gray mouse lemur is one of the smallest primates in the world.
Tiny in size, the gray mouse lemur typically weighs between 30 to 60 grams.
With big round eyes and soft fur, these lemurs are undeniably adorable creatures.
Nocturnal by nature, the gray mouse lemur is most active at night, using its keen sense of smell and sharp hearing to navigate through the dark.
Their diet consists of insects, fruits, and flowers, which they forage for in the trees of the Madagascar forests.
Despite their size, gray mouse lemurs are territorial creatures, marking their territory with scent glands located on their throat and wrists.
These lemurs have a lifespan of around 6 to 8 years in the wild.
Due to habitat destruction and hunting, the gray mouse lemur is considered a vulnerable species.
Conservation efforts are underway to protect these charming primates and preserve their natural habitat for future generations to enjoy.
