The brown mouse lemur is one of the smallest primates in the world, although it isn’t the smallest lemur. That honor goes to the pygmy mouse lemur. But this guy is pretty small, as you can see from the piece of fruit there that was about the size of a lemon. I have no idea what that fruit is, but the lemur sure seemed to know what it was all about. Photographed on the island of Nosy Mangabe, which is off the east cast of the island nation of Madagascar. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-600 flash units.
I bet the bane of this guy’s existence is having people constantly confusing him with the Brown Lemur Mouse. That and being devoured alive by mongooses.

All about the eyes looking right at you
Don’t know how you get these great shots

Still waiting for my pet lemur.
