Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

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.
