Male Red-fronted lemur dodging spikes in Tsingy
The Tsingy area, known for its limestone spike formations, consists of two parts: the big Tsingy and the small Tsingy. Here we are at the top of the small Tsingy, taking a rest from the climb. Because of the baking sun, we only rested for one minute and packed up to go down again. Then, by luck we got a glimpse of an awesome scene: lemurs walking the Tsingy spikes. This is a classic scene you may know from the BBC documentary of Madagascar.
The red-fronted lemur, also known as the red-fronted brown lemur or southern red-fronted brown lemur, is a species of lemur from Madagascar. Until 2001, it was considered a subspecies of the common brown lemur, "E. fulvus".
