When: May 5, 2019

Where: Apenheul Apeldoorn, The Netherlands

This is our favorite adult Lac Alaotra Gentle Lemur. She's a female, which we know because we watched her with her baby

She's very notable for the way she sucks on her finger, which is the cutest thing

Species: Lac Alaotra Gentle Lemur (Alaotrabamboemaki)

Latin name: Hapalemur Alaotrensis

Originates from northeast Madagascar.

Current status: Critically Endangered

Did you know:

…The Lac Alaotra Gentle Lemur is the only Lemur specifically adapted to living in papyrus reeds.

…Unlike the other Bamboo Lemurs, it does not eat bamboo, but papyrus reeds, shoots of the common reed and two types of grass.
