A Coquerel’s sifaka lemur eyes the next branch to leap to. Like most lemurs, they are quite acrobatic as they move through the forest. Coquerel’s sifakas live in the dry forests of Western Madagascar where I photographed this one in Ankarafantsika National Park. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 100, f/5.6 at 1/60th of a second, Nikon SB-600 flash.
Aside from the endearing plaintive look, you can just see some of his fingers (?) wrapped around the tree behind him. Nice!
(ps: how did Mom and her house do in the hurricane? Hope all is well and safe, We and your Aunt Sue were pretty lucky with minimal damage.)
Thanks for asking Laura. She did well, especially considering the neighboring communities. She’s about 8 miles inland which definitely helps. Glad to hear you guys are okay too.

How much did Coquerel pay for all those Sifakas?
