∙ 10y agoThe Northern Sportive Lemur is a niche species. Simply put: the species has several very specific conditions that must be met in order to survive or call their perfect habitat. While they may have survived as a highly specialized species before, it is now their own downfall as their precious small habitat is destroyed through deforestation. A native species of Boa is also known to take some Northern Sportive Lemurs from their daytime resting places. These threats, in addition to a specific diet, wouldn't be so bad were it not for the remaining population. The species is also extremely vulnerable to local bushmeat hunters.
