The dwarf lemur is a small primate species that is native to Madagascar. They are known for their small size, typically weighing between 200 to 600 grams, and their arboreal lifestyle, spending most of their time in trees. Dwarf lemurs are unique in that they exhibit hibernation-like behavior during periods of food scarcity, entering a state of torpor to conserve energy. They have large, round eyes adapted for night vision and a keen sense of smell to locate food. Dwarf lemurs primarily feed on fruits, nectar, and insects. They are an important component of Madagascar's unique biodiversity and play a role in seed dispersal and pollination. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect the dwarf lemur and their natural habitat from threats such as habitat loss and climate change.
