Mirza is much larger than Microcebus. During the wet season it has a varied diet consisting of fruits, flowers, gums, insects, spiders, frogs, lizards, small birds, and eggs. Males are solitary and seem to defend their core areas from other males. However, a male's core area may overlap that of a female. Marking is accomplished through urination, salivation, and anogenital dragging.
