Crowned Lemur male eye contact, Amber Mountain, Madagascar A happy moment on our 2nd day in Amber Mountain. After seeing the Amber Mountain Rock Thrush earlier in the morning, seeing this lemur meant we had checked of the &quot;must see&quot; species. This lemur has a narrow distribution in the north with only a few thousand individuals. Here we see the male with its typical white face and crowned haircut. <br /> <br /> Full body shot:<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/37826/crowned_lemur_male_-_full_body_shot_amber_mountain_madagascar.html" title="Crowned Lemur male - full body shot, Amber Mountain, Madagascar"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/37826_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=XZAuTt%2BnyFoRSi9YicnfOSE1VWE%3D" width="200" height="184" alt="Crowned Lemur male - full body shot, Amber Mountain, Madagascar Our first view at these rare mammals crossing our path in Amber Mountain.
