The Ring-tailed Lemur (Lemur catta) is a large prosimian, a lemur belonging to the family Lemuridae. The Ring-tailed Lemur is the only species within the monotypic genus Lemur and, like all other lemurs, is found only on the island of Madagascar.
Although threatened by habitat destruction and therefore listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List, the Ring-tailed Lemur is the most populous lemur in zoos worldwide; they reproduce readily in captivity.

I took this with my 120-300/2.8 and an extension tube to get nearer and get the monkey larger. They are so fast moving! I had to delete about 80% of my shots at home ... btw, it was taken through a fine fence. Did I already say, I like this lens?
