The total mature length (including tail) is approximately 93 to 110 cm. Adult body mass is typically around 4 kg. The dorsal pelage and tail are white, with maroon patches on the chest and portions of the limbs. The coat is generally dense. Its face is bare and black except for a distinctive patch of white fur along the bridge of the nose. Its naked ears are also black, and its eyes are yellow or orange. Distribution This species occurs only at altitudes of less than 300 ft in the dry deciduous forests of northwestern Madagascar , including coastal forests. It primarily occurs to the north and east of the Betsiboka River , and the southerly portion of the range extends to Ambato-Boéni. Groups of this species have a home range area amounting to 4-9 hectares . Overall densities in the wild are observed in the range of 60 individuals per km².
