Species connection This is a moment I will never forget. Slowly and cautiously I was approaching a couple of Red-fronted lemurs hanging out in a tree, them being fully aware of my presence. When I was directly beneath the tree this male stuck his head out and we stared at each other for a minute or so, both equally curious about the strange creature in sight. As I then moved on to take a few shots, this red-fronted lemur kept twisting his head, similar to how dogs behave when you talk to them but have no idea what you&#039;re saying. <br />

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".
