Description

When: May 7, 2018

Where: Apenheul Apeldoorn, The Netherlands

When you don't want to hop off your mom - who has tucked her 1.5 month old son safely in the crook of her hip - but still want to touch and smell the fern

Species: Crowned Lemur (Kroonmaki)

Latin name: Eulemur Coronatus

Originates from Madagascar.

Current status: Endangered

Did you know:

…Crowned Lemurs are sexually dimorphic; females have a gray body with an orange crown, while males are a dark reddish brown, crowned with black and orange.

…They have long, non-prehensile tails which they use to balance jumping from branch to branch, but also for communication in their close knit, female-led social groups.
