Distribution of L. milanoii[1]

The Daraina sportive lemur (Lepilemur milanoii) is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar. It is a relatively small sportive lemur with a total length of about 49 to 56 centimeters, of which 24–27 centimeters are tail.[4]

L. milanoii is found in northern Madagascar, living in dry deciduous, gallery and semi-evergreen forests.[4] Its known distribution range covers the Loky-Manambato region and the species has surprisingly also been reported to occur in sympatry with L. Ankaranensis in the Andrafiamena protected area,[3] both areas being managed by the NGO Fanamby. Daraina sportive lemur has been reported to occur at high densities in the forest fragments of Solaniampilana and Bekaraoka.[5]
