Focus on Wildlife - part 13

Posted by
Stephen (Canberra, Australia) on 15 March 2023 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Just hanging around! This Black-and-white Ruffed Lemur was very laid back and happy to greet our arrival inside its enclosure.

In the wild they are very social animals, living in groups of up to 20, with equal numbers of males and females.


Last month I went on a Focus on Wildlife Tour at the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra. It was an amazing day, beginning with the opportunity to see animals when they are most active early in the morning.

The tour also gave us special access to some of the enclosures, getting up close with many of the Zoo's most beautiful animals.

Great capture of this lemur! Those feet must be quite strong and powerful as it hangs like that. I love its narrow snout and whiskers.
