The Sambirano Woolly Lemur is an avahi from northwestern Madagascar. Its description distinguishes the short facial fur from the coat on the rest of the body.
Its body fur is light sand-brown gray. The facial fur is short and stiff, unlike the surrounding coat; the tail is described as gray-brown to reddish.
The paper describes Avahi as nocturnal and as a specialized leaf-eating genus. This is a genus-level summary, not a field observation of this species alone.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
