Editing Mongoose lemur (section)

==Description==
The mongoose lemur ranges in size from {{convert|12|to|18|in|abbr=on}} long plus a tail of {{convert|16|to|25|in|abbr=on}}. Both sexes are born with white beards, but become obviously [[sexual dimorphism|dimorphic]] around six weeks of age when the males develop red beards and red cheeks. The males also have lighter faces than the females.<ref name="Chicago Zoological Society" /> Males may further distinguish themselves when scent-marking territory, as they occasionally develop a bald patch on top of their heads from rubbing.<ref name="Bristol Zoo" />
