This lemur is called a Verreaux’s sifaka. Of all the different lemur species, I always thought that these guys looked the most like stuffed animals moving through the trees. On the ground, they perform a ballet-like dance as they quickly move from the safety of one tree to the next. Nikon D40X with Nikkor 18-55mm lens (at 26mm) ISO 100, f/9 at 1/30th of a second
Sean your pictures are amazing. You continue to show your abilities as a great photographer once again proving that it what is behind the view finder that makes the difference. Not the equipment. I noticed that you used a D40x. I love your pictures and look forward to my morning coffee and your posts. Keep posting your great shots
Thanks Rick. That was back in 2007 when a D200 was my main camera and a D40X was my backup. I didn’t end up shooting much with that camera but it came in handy when I didn’t have time to switch lenses and it was quite capable of delivering nice results.
What an amazing world you are documenting. All these creatures deserve to live a bountiful life. Thanks for reminding us, again and again, that there is so much to love and care for in this world.

Thanks Ann, looking forward to getting out there for another year of incredible creatures.
Just like the stuffed toys my kids would wrap around their necks.
