Grewcock's Sportive Lemur (Lepilemur grewcocki) is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar. It is a medium-sized sportive lemurs with a total length of about 55 to 63 centimeters, of which 26-30 centimeters are tail.[1] Grewcock's Sportive Lemur is found in northwesetrn Madagascar, living in dry deciduous forests .[1]
The Latin name for this animal is sometimes given as L.grewcockorum.[1][2] The common name is sometimes given as Grewcocks' Sportive Lemur.[1]
There is some question as to whether the Manasamody Sportive Lemur, L. manasamody, is actually the same species as Grewcock's Sportive Lemur. If so, L. manasamody would be considered a junior synonym of L. grewcocki.[2]
