Goodman's Mouse Lemur (Microcebus lehilahytsara) Joel Sartore

The mouse lemurs are nocturnal lemurs of the genus Microcebus. Like all lemurs, mouse lemurs are native to Madagascar. [4] Mouse lemurs have a combined head, body and tail length of 20-30 centimetres (7.9-11.8 in) and weigh 30-65 grams (1.1-2.3 oz), [5] making them the smallest primates [6] (the smallest species being Madame Berthe's mouse lemur); however, their weight fluctuates in.. The red owl (Tyto soumagnei) is a predator of the northern rufous mouse lemur (M. tavaratra) (Cardiff & Goodman 2008). In fact, predation can be quite severe, with estimates at Beza Mahafaly, southern Madagascar assigning a 25% loss each year in the entire M. murinus population exclusively to owl predation (Goodman et al. 1993).

Goodman's mouse lemur (Microcebus lehilahytsara) is a species of mouse lemur from the region near Andasibe in eastern Madagascar. The species is named in honor of primatologist Steven M. Goodman..
