The hairy-eared dwarf lemur is a nocturnal lemur native to the rainforests of eastern Madagascar. It is a rare and unique species, the only one in its genus Allocebus. It gets its name from the fluffy tufts of hair that adorn its ears, which are thought to help with sensory perception as it moves through the trees in the darkness. These lemurs are tiny—an adult could easily fit in the palm of your hand! They have pink hands and feet with long fingers that they use to grip tree branches. They are rarely seen and little studied, so there is more to learn about these fuzzy fellows.
