Pale fork-marked lemur
Species of lemur / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pale fork-marked lemur (Phaner pallescens), or western fork-marked lemur, is a species of lemur known from western Madagascar; south of the Fiherenana River to the region of Soalala. It is listed on CITES Appendix I.[2] They are about 9–11 in (230–280 mm) long from head to rump and their tail adds another 11–15 in (280–380 mm). Pale fork-marked lemur's weigh around 11–18 oz (310–510 g) and live up to around 12 years in captivity. Their chances of surviving to that age decreases when in the wild.[4]
