Southern red-fronted brown lemur - juvenile male closeup, Kirindy Reserve, Madagascar A second series of photos from this charming species, featuring a juvenile male and an adult female. The male is easily recognized by its red front, which is black in females. Southern red-fronted brown lemurs live and move in groups. As a tactical photography tip: very often if you find one taking a particular path in the canopy, you can anticipate on the rest of the group following the same route. In our experience this holds true for many lemur species.<br />

  1. You make it really difficult to choose a favorite, Ferdy!

    The facial expression in this photo is so serene and beautiful!

    1. Awww thanks, Lisa :)

      Lemurs in general seem genuinely friendly and curious. This species in particular always has this surprised and slightly worried expression on their face.

  2. Beautiful <3!! And, I love that awesome brown and black lichen on tree next to its head! Posted 6 years ago
    1. Well, that makes us weirdos in the real world:

      Me: *photographing a lichen*
      Guide: found something!?!?
      Me: yeah, this large lichen with an interesting color
      Guide: silent stare, keeps walking

      Me: *photographing a lichen*
      Ymke: what do you see???
      Me: an interesting lichen
      Ymke: Oh. *Look of disappointment*.
      Me: See, a lichen is an interesting symbiosis of two species, one cannot live withou....hey, where are you going?

      Me: *photographing a lichen*
      Henriette: found someth....
      Me: OK EVERYBODY STOP MAKING ME FEEL WEIRD FOR PHOTOGRAPHING A LICHEN. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A LICHEN IS. I DON'T NEED TO JUSTIFY PHOTOGRAPHING A LICHEN.

      1. Hahaha! Awesome! So happy to be a weirdo. Lichens are so cool! Posted 6 years ago
