Sanford's brown lemur (Eulemur sanfordi), or Sanford's lemur,[3] is a species of strepsirrhine primate in the family Lemuridae. Sanford's brown lemur was previously considered a subspecies of the common brown lemur (Eulemur fulvus) but was raised to full species in 2001.[1] It is named after Leonard Cutler Sanford, a trustee of the American Museum of Natural History.[4]
