The hairy-eared dwarf lemur lives in the humid forests (rainforests) of eastern Madagascar.

There are many organization and laws dedicated to saving and protecting lemur's. There are only about 1000 hairy eared dwarf lemur's left in the wild.

The hairy-eared dwarf lemur is sympatric with other lemur species, and also shares tree holes (nests) with white-tailed tree rats (Brachytarsomys albicauda).

Not much is known about hairy-eared dwarf lemurs. They have not been studied much in the wild. No breeding information appears to be available.

However, being a small lemur, it likely gives birth to small litters and builds nests for its young. If so, the young would be stashed away in the nest while the mother forages for food.

there are about 100-1000 in the wild
