Eulemur rubriventer (red-bellied lemur)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Red-bellied Lemur (Eulemur rubriventer) is a medium sized prosimian with a luxuriant chestnut brown coat. This lemur is endemic to eastern Madagascan rainforests and is distinguished by patches of white skin below the eyes, giving rise to a "teardrop" effect, particularly conspicuous in the male. The species, first identified in the year 1850, exhibits diurnal behaviour and marked sexual dichromism.
