Lemur

The zoo has 7 ring-tailed lemurs. They live on 'lemur island' with 2 red-fronted lemurs. They are all cute. I'm not going to even try to id this fella, but I'll put the info from the zoo's web here for fun. I do not think it is Andromeda because there was one ring-tailed lemur that was clearly separate from the others and that is apparently Andromeda. Sammy felt strongly that the lemurs were meditating and it did look like it, especially when they sat in this position with their palms up.

Thank you, Kyry Kyry. I am glad you are
enjoying the photos. When I take pictures at
the zoo I always think they will be boring!

I've loved lemurs ever since those little
rubber animals in the tubes for Matty. The
eyes get me. Beautiful picture.

Leapin Lemurs, drp! Meera told me she wants
to be a monkey when she grows up. She will
not need to change much to reach her goal ;)
