  1. The royal family is entitled to be on the homepage always. Seriously, this is an awesome capture. Very well composed and timed. It's funny also how it seems that together their bodies seem to form the shape of a giant body :) Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago
    1. Thanks Ferdy, I confess I saved this one for your return as I knew you would like it! A very lucky shot, sneaking up on this little lemur ball, the proverbial twig snapped and they all looked up in unison! Posted 12 years ago

The ring-tailed lemur is a large strepsirrhine primate and the most recognized lemur due to its long, black and white ringed tail. It belongs to Lemuridae, one of five lemur families, and is the only member of the "Lemur" genus. Like all lemurs it is endemic to the island of Madagascar and endangered.
