A Red-tailed sportive lemur

A Red-tailed sportive lemur (Lepilemur ruficaudatus) pokes its head out of a secure hiding place. These small lemurs are nocturnal. 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
In this photo print, we are granted a rare glimpse into the secretive world of a Red-tailed sportive lemur. With its head cautiously emerging from a secure hiding place, this small primate reminds us of the enchanting diversity found in Madagascar's unique ecosystem. As one of the many nocturnal lemurs inhabiting this biodiverse island, the Red-tailed sportive lemur belongs to an ancient group known as prosimians. These primates predate monkeys and were once widespread across the globe until their displacement 35 million years ago. However, Madagascar stands as an exception, preserving these remarkable creatures and countless other species that exist nowhere else on Earth. The image captures not only the endearing features of this particular lemur but also serves as a testament to Madagascar's outstanding biodiversity. The lush flora surrounding our subject hints at the vibrant tapestry of life that thrives within this isolated paradise. Photographed by NP for Discover Images by AWL, it is evident that great care was taken to capture such an intimate moment with nature. This stunning print invites us to appreciate both the beauty and fragility of Madagascar's ecosystems while reminding us of our responsibility to protect them for future generations.
