Gray bamboo lemur C013 / 6998
Gray bamboo lemur (Hapalemur griseus) in a tree. All lemurs are endemic to Madagascar, where they evolved in isolation from other primates after Madagascar became geographically isolated from Africa. Many lemur species are becoming increasingly rare due to habitat destruction. This one is also known as the eastern lesser bamboo lemur. It feeds mostly on bamboo.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Gray bamboo lemur, gracefully perched on a tree in its natural habitat. Endemic to Madagascar, these lemurs have evolved in isolation from other primates after the island became geographically separated from Africa. However, their existence is now threatened by habitat destruction, making them increasingly rare. Also known as the eastern lesser bamboo lemur, this unique primate relies heavily on bamboo for sustenance. With its agile climbing skills and keen observation abilities, it spends its days peacefully watching over the forest canopy. The gray gentle bamboo lemur's vulnerable status highlights the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect this remarkable species. Photographed at Vakona Lodge within the Perinet Reserve in Madagascar, this image showcases not only the beauty of nature but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to safeguard biodiversity. As it rests upon a sapling vine amidst lush foliage, we are reminded of how crucial trees are for these arboreal creatures' survival. With every detail captured by Tony Camacho's lens from Science Photo Library, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the biological wonders and fragility of Madagascar's wildlife. Let us cherish and respect these incredible animals that contribute to our understanding of zoology and remind us of our interconnectedness with all living beings on Earth.
