Species Overview

One of the world's smallest primates, this Malagasy strepsirrhine weighs only 40โ€“70 g with a head-body length of ~12 cm. It has soft, gray-brown dorsal fur, a paler underside, large eyes for nocturnal vision, and a white stripe between the eyes. Found in dry deciduous and secondary forests of western and southern Madagascar. Nocturnal and arboreal, it forages alone but often sleeps communally in tree holes by day. Diet is omnivorous: insects, fruits, flowers, nectar, gum, and small vertebrates. They exhibit remarkable physiological flexibility, entering daily torpor or prolonged hibernation during the cool dry season, storing fat in the tail and hindquarters. Reproduction is seasonal; gestation is ~60 days with 1โ€“3 offspring per litter. They can breed in their first year. Their short generation time and 8โ€“14 year captive lifespan make them a uniquely valuable primate model for aging, Alzheimer's disease, and neurodegenerative research. The genome has been sequenced (2n=66). IUCN: Least Concern.
