: Meet the Lac Alaotra gentle lemur—the world’s only primate that lives exclusively in wetlands! 💧

Also known locally as the bandro, this lemur is found only around Madagascar’s largest lake, Lac Alaotra, where it clings to papyrus and reed beds instead of trees. With a total range of just 49,000 acres, these gentle lemurs are true wetland specialists and an incredible example of adaptation.

Ny Bandro dia tsy hita maneran-tany raha tsy ao anaty zetran'Alaotra (Faritra arovana Lac Alaotra), nefa tandidimin-doza ny fiveloman'izy ireny. Marihina fa izy irery iany ny varika monina sy mivelona ao anatin'ireny honahona na faritra andrian'ny rano ireny. 30 -40cm ny halavan'ny vatany ary 1 -1,4kg ny lanjany; mirefy ny 2 -5ha kosa ny velaran'ny zetra honenan'ny Bandro, miova arakaraky ny isan'ny Bandro ao anatin'ny vondrona iray misy azy izany.

Bandro or Hapalemur alatrensis is the local endemic lemur species, critically nedangered (IUCN red List). It is the only species of Lemurs that lived exclusively and permanently in the Alaotra wetland (Lake Alaotra protected area), especially in the marsh or “Zetran’Alaotra”. This strictly herbivorous lemur species is characterized by an average adult body length of approximately 30 cm, with a tail of 30 to 40 cm and its weight is between 1 and 1.4 kg (Mutschler, 1999). A group of Bandro occupies around 2 to 5ha of variable territory depending on the size of a group (Nievergelt et al. 1998).
