'''Camp Tattersalli, also known as the White Lemur Camp, is a nature lodge in the Daraina commune in northern Madagascar. The camp is named after the [[Golden-crowned sifaka]] lemur, scientifically named ''Propithecus tattersalli'' which can be found in the forest by the camp. Other lemur species in the area include the Greater dwarf lemur, Amber mountain fork-marked lemur, Daraina sportive lemur and the [[Aye-aye]], although it can be difficult to spot.'''
