White-footed sportive lemur C013 / 7003
White-footed sportive lemur (Lepilemur leucopus) in a tree. All lemurs are endemic to Madagascar, where they evolved in isolation from other primates after Madagascar became geographically isolated from Africa. Many lemur species are becoming increasingly rare due to habitat destruction. This one is also known as the white-footed weasel lemur. It feeds mostly on leaves. Photographed in the Berenty Reserve, Madagascar

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting White-footed sportive lemur, also known as the white-footed weasel lemur. Perched gracefully on a tree branch in the lush forests of Madagascar's Berenty Reserve, this rare primate is a testament to the incredible biodiversity found on this isolated island. Endemic to Madagascar, lemurs like this one evolved in isolation from other primates after their home became geographically cut off from Africa. Unfortunately, many lemur species are now facing an uncertain future due to habitat destruction caused by human activities. In this image captured by TONY CAMACHO/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we witness the natural beauty and grace of these nocturnal creatures. With its large round eyes fixed attentively on its surroundings, it seems as though this individual is watching over its forest domain. As a folivorous mammal, the White-footed sportive lemur primarily feeds on leaves found within its arboreal habitat. Its distinctive white feet provide both camouflage and inspiration for its common name. Let us cherish and protect these remarkable animals that play such an important role in maintaining Madagascar's delicate ecosystem. Through conservation efforts and raising awareness about their plight, we can strive towards ensuring a brighter future for all lemurs and preserving our planet's rich biological heritage.
