  2. Who is the Gray Mouse Lemur? • The Gray mouse lemur is a small primate who lives only in the Madagascar forest. • They are 10 to 14cm tall. • Their skin color is brownish, grayish. • They are nocturnal and solitary. • They live in very hot temperatures. • Their scientific name is microcebusmurinus. • Their major predators are the Fossa, the Barn Owl, the Narrow Moongoose, the spear-nosed snake and humans (they hunt them). • The Gray Mouse lemur is omnivorous, they eat mostly rose-hued berries, insects like the Pill Millipede and Flatid Leaf Bugs, lizard and chameleons and Trumpet Flowers. • He lives with the Mantella Frog, the Brookesia Chameleon, the Comet Moth, the Nile crocodile, the Tomato Frog, the Uruplatus geckos, the blue coua, the tenrec, the flying fox, the fanaloka, the aye-aye, the Indri, the day gecko.

  3. What is happening to it? • Their habitat is being destructed by humans. They are cutting the forest and the lemurs and the rest of their community has been losing their habitat. • They only live in Madagascar and do not have another place to live in. • In 1990, they were abundant, in 1996, they were least concern, in 2000 they were still on least concern. • A few years ago there were 8,000 of them. • This is despite natural predators and human destruction such as deforestation and live capture for the pet trade. • Unfortunately, climate change may have a negative effect on this species in the long run.
