    Hey Ferdy, this is pure chance and not revenge I swear :-), but this was separated off from the Brown Lemur into two species in 2008: Red Lemur, E. rufus, distributed in dry lowland forests in northwestern Madagascar, and the Red-fronted Lemur, E. rufifrons in southwest and eastern Madagascar. Looking at the distribution mapy, I believe that this is the red lemur. So, I'll trade you a lemur for a chameleon ID - LOL. Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago

      Red-fronted Lemur in Tsingy Red-fronted lemurs are many things, but shy they are not. This male red-fronted lemur eats with passion. Eulemur rufifrons,Madagascar,Red-fronted lemur,Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park

The Southern red-fronted brown lemur

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''. In 2001, ''E. fulvus'' was split into several separate species, including ''Eulemur rufus'', in which this species was included. In 2008, ''E. rufus'' was split into two species, the red lemur and the red-fronted lemur . ''E. rufus'' covers the population on the west coast.. more
