Ring-tailed Lemur mastering thin branch

Credits for this one go to my girl Henriette. During the midst of day in the Anja Reserve of Madagascar, this playful ring-tailed lemur masters the very end of a thin branch to reach for its fruits.

  Thank you so much. I tend to never be happy about my past photos, I always think how I could have done them better with the better gear and skills I have now.
  
  Concerning Madagascar, I consider it the most impressive destination we visited, and that means a lot given that we visited Costa Rica, Malaysia, South Africa, Brazil, Tanzania, all awesome hotspots. In particular, 80% of Madagascar's wildlife exists nowhere else, it's a world on its own.
  
  Anyway, you don't need convincing, you're already going :) Posted 11 years ago
