Hubbard's sportive lemur (Lepilemur hubbardorum), or the Zombitse sportive lemur, is a sportive lemur endemic to Madagascar. It has total length of about 51 to 59 cm (20 to 23 in), of which 23–25 cm (9.1–9.8 in) are tail.[4] Hubbard's sportive lemur is found north of the Onilahy River and south of the Mangoky River in Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park in southwestern Madagascar, living in dry transitional forests.[4] The species listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is threatened by habitat loss and degradation, forest fires, and unsustainable levels of hunting.[1]
Hubbard's sportive lemur was described as a new species in 2006 when mitochondrial DNA sequencing showed it was significantly different from the red-tailed sportive lemur.[3] Originally named L. hubbardi, the name was found to be incorrectly formed and was corrected to L. hubbardorum in 2009.[5]
A survey conducted over an 18 night period recorded 234 sightings of Hubbard's sportive lemur in the Zombitse-Vohibasia National Park. Data extrapolated from this survey indicates 16,500–18,000 individuals within the park.[6]
