lesser weasel lemur
Lepilemur ruficaudatus
The red-tailed lemur is a small nocturnal primate with a long tail. It lives in trees in the dry forests of Madagascar and moves by jumping.
The red-tailed lemur is distinguished by its red tail and long-distance jumps. It is important for Madagascar's nature because it disperses plant seeds and serves as food for predators.
