Common brown lemurs
Common brown lemurs. Female common brown lemur (Eulemur fulvus) washing her infant in a tree. This lemur is found in north-western areas of Madagascar and on nearby islands. It mainly eats fruit, young leaves and flowers. All lemurs are endemic to Madagascar, where they evolved in isolation from other primates after Madagascar became geographically isolated from Africa. Many lemur species are becoming increasingly rare due to habitat destruction. Photographed at Vakona Lodge, in the Perinet Reserve, Madagascar

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment between a female common brown lemur and her precious infant. Perched high up in a tree, the mother lemur delicately washes her baby, showcasing the tender bond that exists within their species. Originating from north-western areas of Madagascar and nearby islands, these lemurs have adapted to survive on a diet consisting mainly of fruit, young leaves, and flowers. Endemic to Madagascar, they evolved separately from other primates after the island became geographically isolated from Africa. Sadly, many lemur species are now facing an uncertain future due to habitat destruction. Photographed at Vakona Lodge in the Perinet Reserve of Madagascar, this image provides us with a glimpse into the intricate world of these remarkable creatures. The lush green forest serves as their natural habitat where they thrive as arboreal mammals. As we observe this duo engaged in their daily routine amidst nature's beauty, it is impossible not to be moved by their innocence and vulnerability. This photograph reminds us of the importance of preserving our planet's biodiversity and protecting these unique animals for generations to come. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail captured by Science Photo Library, this print offers both aesthetic pleasure and educational value for those fascinated by wildlife photography or interested in exploring the wonders of Madagascan fauna.
