The hairy-eared mouse lemur (scientific name Allocebus trichoti') is a lemur native to northeastern Madagascar. It is the only species in the genus Allocebus. This animal is seriously endangered, with only about 100-1000 individuals left.
The hairy-eared mouse lemur is a nocturnal animal that lives in the woods. They are experts at climbing and jumping, and their tails are a good balance tool. They usually live alone, but sometimes in pairs. They build nests in tree holes and feed on flying insects, gum, young leaves and fruits.
Females usually have three pairs of nipples. The gestation period is about 60 days, with 2-4 pups per litter (usually two to three). The weaning period is five to six weeks, and the young monkeys mature in one to two years.
The IUCN Red List lists it as Data Deficient (DD).
