The collared brown lemur (Eulemur collaris), also known as the red-collared brown lemur or red-collared lemur, is a medium-sized strepsirrhine primate and one of twelve species of brown lemur in the family Lemuridae. It is only found in south-eastern Madagascar.
Lemur species in the genus Eulemur are known to interbreed, despite having dramatically different chromosome numbers. Red-fronted (2N=60) and collared (2N=50–52) brown lemurs were found to hybridize at Berenty Reserve, Madagascar. [6]
The gray-headed lemur (Eulemur cinereiceps), or gray-headed brown lemur, is a medium-sized primate, a cathemeral species of lemur in the family Lemuridae. Until a taxonomic revision in 2008, it was known as the white-collared brown lemur or white-collared lemur (Eulemur albocollaris). [4] It lives in south-eastern Madagascar. [1]

The collared brown lemur (Eulemur collaris) is a medium-sized strepsirhine primate and one of twelve species of brown lemur in the Lemuridae family. It is only found in south-eastern Madagascar. Like most species of lemur, it is arboreal, moving quadrupedally and occasionally leaping from tree to tree.
The ring-tailed lemur was one of the first lemurs to be classified, by Carl Linnaeus in 1758.. Lemurs were first classified in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus, and the taxonomy remains controversial today, with approximately 70 to 100 species and subspecies recognized, depending on how the term "species" is defined.
Only 36 greater bamboo lemurs are in captivity globally and they are classified as “Critically Endangered” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
There are five species of lemur, including the Collared brown lemur (Eulemur collaris) which was first sighted at the reserve in 1990 [3] [4] and can only be found in this area of Madagascar. The reserve is also home to the Sainte Luce mouse lemur (Microcebus saintelucei).
