Finger-licking good! Near Andasibe, Madagascar is a small lemur island seperated by a narrow river once crosses with a boat. There, you can get real close to various species of lemur that are somewhat domesticated. It's not a truly wild situation, but quite a lot of fun, as they will jump on your back pack and head in search of fruit. This female Red Lemur is just about done eating a pine apple.
