White Fronted Brown Lemur, Nosy Mangabe, Madagascar

Lemurs seem to get a lot of variations on their common names. This is the white-fronted brown lemur. But he’ll also answer to the white-headed lemur, the white-headed brown lemur, or the white-fronted lemur. I only saw a few of them while in Madagascar, on the island of Nosy Mangabe. And speaking of names, today’s word of the day is cathemerality. Which of course means active sporadically throughout the 24 hour day/night cycle. These guys are that.
