Danfoss's mouse lemur (Microcebus danfossi), or the Ambarijeby mouse lemur, is a species of mouse lemurendemic to Madagascar. It lives in western deciduous forest within a limited range between the Sofia River and the Maevarano River.[4] This species has been found in substantial populations in the Ambarijevy, Anjajavy, and Beanamaolo forests in Madagascar.[5] Their lifespan is about 5 years but can live up to 10 years. They are part of the infraorder called lemuriformes which represents 20% of the entire primates diversity and over 60% of the mammalian genera of Madagascar.[6]
There is no current estimate of the number of individuals present in the wild, nor in captivity. However the IUCN red list provides the number of 2.2 to 5 individuals per hectares as the species density and that its population is decreasing.[1]
