Mongoose lemurs face threats from predators, which include humans, the fossa, hawks, and boas. Like any wild animal, they must cope with food shortages and disease. Since they are arboreal and some live in areas with sheer limestone peaks and cliffs (known locally as tsingy), they also risk fatal falls. As an endangered species, it is forced to cope with continued habitat loss and forest fragmentation.
