Lemur

Lemur by Gini~.
The zoo has 7 ring-tailed lemurs. They live on 'lemur island' with 2 red-fronted lemurs. They are all cute. I'm not going to even try to id this fella, but I'll put the info from the zoo's web here for fun. I do not think it is Andromeda because there was one ring-tailed lemur that was clearly separate from the others and that is apparently Andromeda. Sammy felt strongly that the lemurs were meditating and it did look like it, especially when they sat in this position with their palms up.

From the zoo web:
Gelon – Male
Born May 13, 1991, weighs 4.8 pounds (2.2 kg), has a short tail and is missing his right middle finger

Corinna – Female

Charias – Female

Thank you, Kyry Kyry. I am glad you are enjoying the photos. When I take pictures at the zoo I always think they will be boring!

I've loved lemurs ever since those little rubber animals in the tubes for Matty. The eyes get me. Beautiful picture.

Leapin Lemurs, drp! Meera told me she wants to be a monkey when she grows up. She will not need to change much to reach her goal ;)
