Eastern woolly lemur awakened in tree
I think we were a little too excited when we spotted this Eastern Woolly lemur sleeping in the tree tops of Andasibe, Madagascar. It woke him up, which did give us a chance to look into its eyes. This one is captured from quite a safe distance, so the animal was not bothered.
Sorry for waking you up, Mr Woolly!
