Greater bamboo lemur  (Prolemur simus)

Endemic to Madagascar, fossil evidence suggests that the greater bamboo lemur was originally widespread in northern, central and eastern areas of the island (3). Today, however, this species is restricted to areas in and around the Ranomafana National Park of southeastern Madagascar, although data on distribution is scarce and populations may also exist in the Andringitra Massif and near to Vondrozo (3).

Found in humid primary rainforests where there are giant bamboo trees (Cephalostachium viguieri) (2) (3).
