Holland's sportive lemur (Lepilemur hollandorum), or Mananara-Nord sportive lemur, is a sportive lemur that is endemic to Madagascar. This lemur is found specifically in the Mananara-Nord Biosphere Reserve, but the limits of its habitat have yet to be determined. It lives in primary and secondary rainforests.[1] Holland's Sportive Lemur was promoted to full species status in 2008.
This species of sportive lemur weighs 0.99 kg. It is closest in weight to the weasel sportive lemur.
The pelage on the head, along the shoulders down to the mid back is mottled reddish-gray. The color of its coat then becomes a lighter grayish-brown down to the pygal region of the tail.[1]
