Red-bellied lemur

We saw this female right beside the path at the end of our hike. It was so close I actually had to step back to be able to take a photo with the zoom lens that was on the camera. It looked at us for a few seconds before scampering off into the evening.

Thanks - this site has got me inspired to relook at and edit photos from the trip to Madagascar that I had never got around to editing - It has been great reliving the memories, and trying to find species new for this site. Unfortunately I think this is the last 'new' lemur species I have to offer up, unless I start saving for a return trip.... Posted 10 years ago

  Thank you for the kind words, that is exactly the purpose of the site. By the way, not everything you can contribute has to be a new species, photos of known species to the site are very welcome as well. Posted 10 years ago

Curious, What lens did you use (I see you were at 120mm). Please share about flash setting used. On camera or external flash?

Great shot!! Posted 10 years ago

The Red-bellied lemur

The red-bellied lemur (Eulemur rubriventer) is a medium sized strepsirrhine primate with a luxuriant chestnut brown coat. This lemur is endemic to eastern Madagascan rainforests and is distinguished by patches of white skin below the eyes, giving rise to a "teardrop" effect, particularly conspicuous in the male.
