Danfoss's mouse lemur

Danfoss' mouse lemur (Microcebus danfossi), or the Ambarijeby mouse lemur, is a species of mouse lemur endemic to Madagascar. It lives in western deciduous forest within a limited range between the Sofia River and the Maevarano River.[4] It is a relatively large reddish mouse lemur with a total length of 25 to 29 centimeters, including 15 to 17 centimeters of tail.[4] The Danfoss' mouse lemur has short, dense fur, and a white stripe runs between the eyes.[5] This species has been found in substantial populations in the Ambarijevy, Anjajavy, and Beanamaolo forests in Madagascar.[6]
