It’s obvious, of course, where the ring tailed lemur gets its name. In this shot that tail is on display (along with a few other parts) in all its bushy glory. Some day I hope to get back to southern Madagascar to visit these amazing primates once again. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/2.8 at 1/40th of a second

Amazing tail which appears to be longer than the lemur’s body! Thanks for sharing this exotic creature with your followers, Sean.
his tail is longer then his body, ) does he or she used his tail, as weap=on, to to fight o-ff o-ther aminals?
Hi Michael,
No, the tail is merely ornamental and not used for any other purpose.
Tail is magnificent. I am struck by the yellow colors in the leaves and his orange eyes.
Yeah, I love all the different kinds of lemurs and their many different eye colors.

‘Tis a beautiful thing.
Beautiful! You’re so lucky to have been able to interact with them and possibly again in the future! Thanks for sharing this cutie.
