Lemurs

Lemurs are such a stereotype of this country, especially since that movie. But let's be honest, there's a good reason for that! I went to Lemur's Park near Antananarivo with some friends recently--it's basically a humane zoo that has a few dozen (very cute) lemurs, many confiscated from the illegal lemur pet industry (who wouldn't survive in the wild). You can get very close to the lemurs without stressing them out, since they're so used to humans--the upshot being that even my low end camera can get some good shots!

  1. They are so cute! Especially the one with the really white fur that looks a little surprised.
