(eulemur mongoz)
The Mongoose Lemur is a medium sized lemur with long tail and a horizontal body posture. It inhabits dry deciduous forest in the north west of the island. There is an introduced population on the Comoros Islands. It lives in small groups with a monogamous adult pair and offspring of varying ages. We found this group near the Katsepy Lighthouse which is across the Betsiboka Estuary from Mahajanga.
