| This may look like a shapeless blob stuck to a twig, but it's actually a nocturnal mouse lemur. |
| By rubbing a glandular area against a surface such as a tree trunk, a branch, or even another lemur, the animal deposits a scent mark. |
| Recently, Mayor and fellow researcher Ed Louis discovered a new species of mouse lemur that may be the smallest primate in the world. |
| Of the three subspecies, the white-belted black-and-white ruffed lemur is found furthest to the north. |
| The mouse lemur, one of the smallest of the primates, measures only five inches long, not including its tail. |
| Efforts aimed at ending lemur hunting in the Marojejy region and elsewhere should be continued and expanded. |
