| Distribution of L. milanoii[1] | |
L. milanoii is found in northern Madagascar, living in dry deciduous, gallery, and semi-evergreen forests.[4] Its known distribution range covers the Loky-Manambato region and the species has surprisingly also been reported to occur in sympatry with L. ankaranensis in the Andrafiamena protected area,[3] both areas being managed by the NGO Fanamby. Daraina sportive lemur has been reported to occur at high densities in the forest fragments of Solaniampilana and Bekaraoka.[5]
