A black-and-white ruffed lemur

A black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata variegata) in Mantadia National Park, eastern Madagascar. Lemurs belong to a group of primates called the prosimians, meaning before monkeys. Everywhere in the world except Madagascar, monkeys replaced them 35 million years ago. Madagascar has outstanding biodiversity; most of its flora and fauna is unique to the island and can be found nowhere else

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a black-and-white ruffed lemur in its natural habitat within Mantadia National Park, located in eastern Madagascar. With its striking monochromatic fur and expressive eyes, this particular lemur species, scientifically known as Varecia variegata variegata, is truly a sight to behold. Lemurs are part of an ancient group of primates called prosimians, which means "before monkeys". While lemurs once thrived worldwide, their presence now remains exclusive to the island of Madagascar. Approximately 35 million years ago, monkeys took over their ecological niche everywhere else on Earth. Madagascar boasts unparalleled biodiversity that sets it apart from any other place on our planet. The majority of its plant and animal life can only be found within the confines of this unique island. This makes encounters with creatures like the black-and-white ruffed lemur all the more special and significant. The photographer behind this stunning image has managed to capture not just a remarkable creature but also a symbol of Madagascar's extraordinary wildlife heritage. Displaying this print serves as a reminder that we must cherish and protect these fragile ecosystems for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
