The Hubbard's sportive lemur or the Zombitse sportive lemur - Lepilemur hubbardorum

Such a cute little fellow. He was so curious but a little bit shy aswell.
He got out of the tree but almost the same time he jumped in again.
It was really such a funny sight :)

Originally named ''L. hubbardi'', the name was found to be incorrectly formed and was corrected to ''L. hubbardorum'' in 2009.
