Maki for Maki Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Maki" is Malagasy name of Ring-tailed Lemurs (lemur catta). I dedicate this picture especially for Maki (Marek).

This photo was taken in the natural environment of life this species of lemur in Isalo National Park. They aren't skittish and we could approach close to them.

Lemur catta is an average sized lemur, with a head and body length of 385 to 455 mm. The tail is longer than the body, measuring 560 to 624 mm.
They spend most of their time in the trees, but this species also spends considerable time on the ground (about 15% of the daytime). This species is endemic to south-central and southwest Madagascar, with an isolated population in the Andringitra Massif on the south-eastern plateau.

This is a beautiful wildlife shot and a good catch at this moment. I like the effect of the long tail and the branches which show the habitat well. Good work.
