Closeup of Red-tailed sportive lemur at night
Should you ever be in this scene yourself, capturing night lemurs: one tip is to capture when they are not directly looking at you. Due to flash and their enormous eyes the "red eye" problem becomes huge. In the case of such lemurs, the red eye problem becomes a grey or yellow eye problem.
The red-tailed sportive lemur, or red-tailed weasel lemur, is native to Madagascar like all lemurs. It is a nocturnal species feeding largely on leaves, though they also eat some fruit. Individuals weigh around 800 grams, and there is little sexual dimorphism. In general they live in mated pairs, with a home range of about 10,000 square metres. Both members of the pair use the same home range, and there is little overlap between the home ranges of neighbouring pairs. Travel distances each night.. more
