White-headed lemur female C013 / 7005
White-headed lemur (Eulemur albifrons) female 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 white-fronted brown lemur. It is omnivorous, feeding on fruit, leaves, flowers, insects and other arthropods. Photographed in Parc Ivoloina, Madagascar

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a White-headed lemur female, gracefully perched on a tree branch in the lush forests of Madagascar. Endemic to this unique island, lemurs evolved in isolation from other primates after Madagascar became geographically separated from Africa. Sadly, many lemur species are facing an uncertain future due to habitat destruction. Also known as the white-fronted brown lemur, this particular individual showcases its omnivorous nature by feasting on a diverse diet of fruit, leaves, flowers, insects, and other arthropods. The image was taken in Parc Ivoloina, where these vulnerable creatures find refuge amidst the rich biodiversity that Madagascar has to offer. With its piercing gaze and agile posture, this diurnal primate reminds us of the incredible diversity found within our natural world. As it rests peacefully on a single branch against the backdrop of a verdant forest canopy, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of life. Through this photograph by TONY CAMACHO/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY from Science Photo Library - not associated with any commercial use - we are invited into the enchanting realm of Madagascan wildlife. It serves as a poignant reminder that every effort must be made to protect these extraordinary creatures and their delicate ecosystems for generations to come.
