Brown mouse lemur — size comparison — facts and sources

The brown mouse lemur has a reddish-brown back, cream belly and pale stripe between its eyes. It feeds at night, when large eyes aid low-light vision. Day shelters include cavities and nests where females with young may rest.

Diet depends on season and fruit availability, supplemented by foods including insects and plant exudates. During torpor it reduces energy expenditure and uses fat reserves stored in its tail.
