  1. Intense photograph! So beautiful! Posted 6 years ago
    1. Ah thanks! It's an oldie though, I was cleaning up in preparation for some new shots. The brown lemur has been split up into several sub species which then got full species status so I had plenty of old ones misidentified. Posted 6 years ago

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
