Lemur classification can get confusing and there’s no clear cut answer as to just how many species there actually are. Most experts, however, agree that there are roughly 100 recognized species. About half are nocturnal and half diurnal. This is the red-fronted brown lemur. It is both. Mostly diurnal, but increases its nocturnal activity in the dry season.

Beautiful shot!
Incredible animal, Sean, and what a setting! Your lemur appears to be watching over his own little Eden.
