Seems like as good a day as any to post a lemur. This particular guy is an eastern grey bamboo lemur and I spotted him in central Madagascar in Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. There are several species of bamboo lemurs, or as they are also known, gentle lemurs. They get their name due to the fact that they primarily eat bamboo. It is unknown, however, how they detoxify the high level of cyanide that is found in bamboo. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 120mm) ISO 400, f/2.8 at 1/125th of a second
