Cheirogaleus crossleyi

The Crawford's mouse lemur is 167-264 mm long, with a tail length of 195-310 mm and a weight of 164-600 grams. It has a tan back and a gray belly. This species has black eye circles and the inside of its ears is also black. Its fur is dense. After the rainy season ends, its tail becomes thick and bloated because it hibernates during the dry season and relies on the fat accumulated in its tail for energy.

Distributed in northern and eastern Madagascar. The range of this species has yet to be fully determined. Groves (2000, 2001) described it as living inland in eastern Madagascar, extending northwards. Known localities include the mid- and low-latitude forests of Vohima, Lac Alaotra, Andasibe (= Périnet), Imerina, Sambava, Manatenina, Vohémar, and Tsinjoarivo, with records also in Talatakely and Vatateza.

The habits of the Crossley's mouse lemur (scientific name: Cheirogaleus crossleyi) are unknown.

Listed in the 2016 Red List of Threatened Species of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) ver 3.1 - Data Deficient (DD).
