It is endemic to Madagascar, inhabiting the southern subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. The species is listed as endangered and is threatened by habitat loss due to agriculture practices and charcoal production. The white-footed sportive lemur is similar in appearance to other lemurs in the family of sportive lemurs, with a gray back, a pale gray to white ventral side, and a light brown tail.
