Hubbard's sportive lemur

Hubbard's sportive lemur (Lepilemur hubbardorum), or the Zombitse sportive lemur, is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar. It has total length of about 51 to 59 cm (20 to 23 in), of which 23–25 cm (9.1–9.8 in) are tail.[4] Hubbard's sportive lemur is found in southwestern Madagascar, living in dry transitional forests.[4] Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park is the only protected area it is documented in. "This species is threatened by habitat loss and degradation from shifting agriculture, as well as unsustainable levels of hunting."[5]
