Coquerel's giant mouse lemur can be found at Tsingy de Namoroka National Park. Coquerel's giant mouse lemur has a spotty distribution across western Madagascar's dry deciduous forests due to the forest fragmentation throughout the region. [34] The dry forests in this lowland region vary in elevation from sea level to 700 m (2,300 ft).
This lemur is active throughout the year; unlike mouse lemurs (Microcebus), it does not hibernate. It feeds on the larvae of hemiptera (the true bugs) to sustain itself. It is an arboreal species, and feeds on fruit, flowers, and small animals such as insects and spiders. Coquerel's giant mouse lemur is heavily preyed upon by owls.
The northern giant mouse lemur (Mirza zaza), or northern dwarf lemur, is a species of lemur discovered in 2005. [3] They are part of the primate order, and classified in the family Cheirogaleidae. Previously, both populations of giant mouse lemurs were believed to belong to one species.

The smaller, nocturnal lemurs, such as mouse lemurs, giant mouse lemurs, and dwarf lemurs, usually give birth to more than one infant, whereas the larger, nocturnal lemurs, such as fork-marked lemurs, sportive lemurs, and the aye-aye usually have one offspring. [29] Dwarf and mouse lemurs have up to four offspring, but both average only two.
The mouse lemurs are nocturnal lemurs of the genus Microcebus.Like all lemurs, mouse lemurs are native to Madagascar. [4]Mouse lemurs have a combined head, body and tail length of 20–30 centimetres (7.9–11.8 in) and weigh 30–65 grams (1.1–2.3 oz), [5] making them the smallest primates [6] (the smallest species being Madame Berthe's mouse lemur); however, their weight fluctuates in ...
