Eastern Woolly Lemur mother and baby, Masoala NP, Madagascar
Not a great photo, but a pretty realistic scenario concerning night photography in the thick forest of Masoala. I'm posting this to show the baby, which is always an encouraging sign. October and November are good months to visit Madagascar to see new offspring.
