This is a species of lemur from the family Lemuridae and like all lemurs, it is endemic to Madagascar.
The black lemur is 90-110 cm in length, of which 51-65 cm are tail.
Weight typically ranges between 1.8 and 2.0 kilograms.
The black lemur displays sexual dimorphism in coloration.
Males have black or dark chocolate fur.
Females' fur is of a lighter brown color, generally medium brown, chestnut brown or even orange-brown.
Males have large black ear tufts, while females have large white ear tufts.
The black lemur primarily eats fruit,[8] which makes up an estimated 78% of its diet.
The ripeness of this fruit is vital to the lemur's diet.
Other foods eaten include flowers, leaves, fungi, some invertebrates and, especially during the dry season, nectar.
