I’ve been enjoying the wildlife in my own back yard as of late, but longing for a return to more exotic locales, like Ankarafantsika National Park in western Madagascar. It was there in the dry forests that I met this Milne Edwards’ sportive lemur. Usually nocturnal, this one was hiding in the cavity of a tree along a trail I was hiking and woke up to see what was passing by. I took a couple of quick shots before moving on. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/5.6 at 1/4th of a second.
Do lemurs have eyelids? Or does he always look so wide eyed like he has a thyroid condition? There is something very amusing about this shot, sort of like a jack-in-the-box! Made me smile

That’s just how I like my lemurs: Supportive.
