Based on genetic studies, measurements, and photos, the research team confirmed the Gerp's mouse lemur was an undescribed species, distinct from Goodman's mouse lemur, which is found 58-kilometre (36 mi) away. Gerp's mouse lemur is significantly larger, weighing on average 68-gram (2.4 oz), compared to Goodman's mouse lemur, which weighs about ...
Gerp's mouse lemur is significantly larger, weighing on average 68 grams (2.4 oz), compared to Goodman's mouse lemur, which weighs approximately 44 g (1.6 oz). Jolly's mouse lemur, which is its closest relative and a neighbor to the south, is comparably large, but differs in tail length and genetics. Because it is a recently discovered species ...
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 ...

The other two species, the gray mouse lemur and the fat-tailed dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus medius), avoid competition through reduced activity. The gray mouse lemur uses bouts of torpor, while the fat-tailed dwarf lemur hibernates completely. [29] Similarly, on the east coast entire genera focus on specific food to avoid too much niche overlap.
The wild animal was being kept as a pet illegally, police said.
Bounding through a darkened city park, a lemur managed to stay one step ahead of police officers armed only with a large towel. Bodycam video shows the two officers' attempts to nab the speedy ...
