19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Alert Ring-tailed lemur

We visited Madagascar in 2019. It is a beautiful land. However. Deforest is so heart aching. This is the land so many different kinds of lemur live for a long time. Deforest is taking away their food source. This ring-tailed lemur mom was holding her baby. They were so alert or frighted that something might happen. Both of them looked one direction. One of the baby's hands was open and mom's both hands were holding baby tightly. Lemur is depending on the tree leaves to survive. What will they eat and where will they go when trees are cut off by human? Please help to save those precious primates!
