White-Fronted Brown Lemur, Nosy Mangabe, Madagascar
This is another lemur that goes by many names — although all are simple variations on appearance — the white-headed lemur, white-headed brown lemur, white-fronted brown lemur and white-fronted lemur. They live within a rather small range in northeastern Madagascar. This one was spotted on the island of Nosy Mangabe, just off the coast of the mainland. I was camping on the island for a few nights and woke one morning to find several males and females of the species resting in a tree just a few feet from my tent. I liked the way that this particular male was curled up in his tail (the males have the characteristic white heads, while the females have a grey head).
