This guy is a black and white ruffed lemur photographed near Andasibe-Mantadia National Park in Madagascar. Of the fifty plus species of lemur, the black and white ruffed lemurs are among the most playful. This one was putting on a show, jumping from one branch to the next. It was getting pretty dark at the time, so I used flash to freeze the action. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 80mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/60th of a second, Nikon SB-800 flash

great pic. it looks like flying skunk.
🙂 Ditto Michael’s comment. Approximately how tall is the lemur?
Hey Rachel,
They’re roughly two feet of body size and another two feet of tail, making them pretty large for a lemur.
That is AWESOME!! Love it!!
Super Lemur! Just needs a cape. . . awesome!
he looks like a furry olympian!
No more “leaping lizards” its going to be “leaping lemurs”
