White-fronted brown lemur  (Eulemur albifrons)

Description

This medium-sized lemur has a horizontal posture, which is suited to its predominantly quadrupedal mode of movement (2). These lemurs are also capable of leaping considerable distances, their long furry tails assisting them in maintaining their balance (5). This lemur is generally dark brown with a lighter underside (5). Males have a black face surrounded by a distinctive snowy white forehead, crown, beard and throat (6). The head, face and muzzle of the female are dark grey, but without the bushy cheeks of the male (2).
