From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manasamody Sportive Lemur (Lepilemur manasamody) is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar. Its coloration is primarily grey-brown. It is known only from Ambongabe and Anjiamangirana I, between the Sofia River in the south and the Maevarano River in the north.[1]
There is some question as to whether the Manasamody Sportive Lemur is truly a separate species from Grewcock's Sportive Lemur. If not, Manasamody Sportive Lemur would be considered a junior synonym.[2]
