  • With fewer than a thousand individuals remaining in the wild, the Critically Endangered Golden Bamboo Lemur (Hapalemur aureus) holds on to a tenuous existence in the rainforests of Madagascar. It’s discovery in the mid-1980’s was a crucial factor that led to the foundation of the now famous Ranomafana National Park – a reserve that protects over 400 sq. km. of tropical forest. Like other bamboo lemurs, it feeds primarily on bamboo shoots which, due to their high cyanide content, are lethally toxic to most other animals. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.

  • Nycticebus menagensis. One of four species of Slow Loris found in Borneo. All Slow Loris are nocturnal arboreal primates which feed on small animals, insects and soft fruits. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Red-fronted Brown Lemur (Eulemur rufifrons). Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.

  • The critically endangered Greater Bamboo Lemur (Prolemur simus) is restricted to wet rainforests of Madagascar's southeast where it is highly dependent on Cathariostachys bamboo. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
    cld1722866.jpg
  • Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur (Varecia variegata), a Critically Endangered species and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful of all lemurs. Entirely dependent on tall undisturbed rainforests, these lemurs are threatened by habitat loss and are suffering from an island-wide population decline. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
    cld1838983.jpg
  • With an adult size usually under 405g, the Pygmy Slow Loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus) is the smallest of all lorises. It is strictly nocturnal and survives on a diet of insects and fruit. Cuc Phuong National Park, Vietnam.

  • A Gursky's Spectral Tarsier (Tarsius spectrumgurskyae) perches outside of its tree hole roost. These tiny nocturnal primates emerge every evening to hunt for insects. Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

  • Grey Mouse Lemur (Microcebus murinus). Kirindy Reserve, Madagascar.
    cld1615212.jpg
  • A Small-toothed Sportive Lemur (Lepilemur microdon) peers curiously from its tree hole in the montane forest of Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar. Usually emerging only at night, sportive lemurs frequently wake to keep a watchful eye out for intruders into their territory. Not long ago only 8 species of Lepilemur were known from Madagascar, but recent molecular work has resulted in at least 26 distinct species now being recognized, with more sure to follow.

  • Feared by some, revered by others, the Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is surely one of Madagascar's most bizarre lemurs. Unique among primates, the Aye-aye's front incisors grow continuously like a rodent, leading to the early belief that they were some sort of gigantic nocturnal squirrel. Equally unusual are its long bony middle fingers which are used by the animal to tap tree trunks for the sound of insect grubs inside and then extract them like a fish hook. Unfortunately, Aye-ayes have become gravely endangered from habitat loss and persecution by people: they are often killed on sight due to the superstition that they are an omen of death. Tomasina, Madagascar.

  • With its large stiff flower bracts and copious amounts of sucrose-laded nectar, Madagascar’s Traveler’s Palms (Ravenala spp.) have evolved to be pollinated almost exclusively by several species of lemurs. Here, a Common Brown Lemur (Eulemur fulvus) feeds at the infloresence of Ravenala hladikorum. Andasibe, Madagascar.

  • Although sometimes weighing over 9 kg, Indri (Indri indri) can make impressive leaps from tree to tree with their powerful long hind legs. Largest of the living lemurs, this critically-endangered species is an icon for the conservation of Madagascar's beleaguered wildlife, and its wailing song never fails to enchant visitors to their forest realm. Occuring only in the tropical rainforests on the island's eastern side, the Indri's natural range has dwindled due to widespread deforestation and hunting, despite their traditionally sacred status. Tomasina, Madagascar.

  • The newly distinguished Kayan Loris (Nycticebus kayan) differs from other Bornean loris species by a combination of morphological traits. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Rufous Mouse Lemur (Microcebus rufus), feeding on katydid. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
    cld1920098.jpg
  • A Horsfield's Tarsier (Cephalopachus bancanus) on the prowl for food in the rainforest of western Borneo. These tiny primates are exclusively carnivorous, hunting insects, small lizards, and even snakes by leaping deftly through the thick forest understory and snatching prey with their long nimble fingers. Unlike most other nocturnal mammals which possess a reflective layer behind their retina to help with night vision, tarsiers instead compensate by having enormous eyes. In fact, this species sports the largest eyes in relation to its body size of any mammal in the world - these are locked in place and the animal is only able to shift its vision by rotating its head. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Milne-Edwards' Sifaka (Propithecus edwardsi). Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
    cld1831262.jpg
  • Brown Mouse Lemur (Microcebus rufus). Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
    cld1919176.jpg
  • A Northern Bamboo Lemur (Hapalemur occidentalis) in the foothills of Marojejy National Park, one of at least five species of Hapalemur distributed throughout the forests of Madagascar. True to their name, these small lemurs subsist on a diet that consists largely of young bamboo leaves, a remarkable feat considering the high cyanide content found in the plant’s tissues. It is still not completely understood exactly how these lemurs are able to survive on a diet so tainted with cyanide that it would kill animals much larger than themselves. Antsiranana, Madagascar.

  • Ring-tailed Lemur (Lemur catta), sunbathing to warm themselves in the early morning. Berenty Private Reserve, Madagascar.
    cld1833908.jpg
  • Verreaux's Sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi), crossing road. Popularly known as the ‘Dancing Sifakas’ for their remarkable hopping agility, few visitors realize that the dancing spectacle is in part due to the loss of these animals’ habitat: they naturally dwell in dry and spiny forests and only descend to the ground when they must cross a cleared area. Amboasary, Madagascar.

  • A newly distinguished species, the Kayan Loris (Nycticebus kayan) differs from other Bornean loris species by a combination of morphological traits. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Red-fronted Brown Lemur (Eulemur rufifrons)
    cld1507084.jpg
  • The Western Tarsier (Cephalopachus bancanus borneanus), also known as Horsfield's Tarsier, is a small nocturnal primate occurring in the lowland forests of Sumatra and Borneo. They are carnivorous and feed mainly on insects, but occasionally take birds and bats. Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).

  • Grey Mouse Lemur (Microcebus murinus). Kirindy Reserve, Morondava, Madagascar.
    cld1619300.jpg
  • Brown Mouse Lemur (Microcebus rufus). Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
    cld1918842.jpg
  • A Pygmy Loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus) makes a meal of a giant stick insect (Tirachoidea sp.).  Although primarily insectivorous, these nocturnal primates will also feed on fruit, sap, flowers, lizards, and nestling birds.  Captive. Endangered Primate Rescue Centre, Cuc Phuong National Park, Ninh Binh, Vietnam.

  • Young Ring-tailed Lemurs (Lemur catta) will transition from riding on the belly to the back of their mother after 4-6 weeks of age. Amboasary, Madagascar.
