Behaviour
This lemur is active throughout the year; unlike mouse lemurs (Microcebus), it does not hibernate. It feeds on the larvae of hemiptera (the true bugs) to sustain itself. It is an arboreal species, and feeds on fruit, flowers, and small animals such as insects and spiders. Coquerel's giant mouse lemur is heavily preyed upon by owls.
Taxonomy
Coquerel's giant mouse lemur was named after the French entomologist Charles Coquerel. It was the only member of the genus Mirza until 2005, when a second species, the northern giant mouse lemur (M. zaza) was described.
