Mammal 3


This is a grey mouse lemur, I found this little guy chill in up in the tops of a tree. Where he lives. Mouse lemurs are omnivorous, favoring fruit and insects for the bulk of their diet. The Gray Mouse Lemur may even come down to the ground to catch insect prey, although it will quickly return to the protective cover of the understory to consume its catch. Nectar is also a part of the Gray Mouse Lemur's diet, making it a potential pollinator for local plant species.
