| Indri have no tail but utter a haunting cry to communicate their whereabouts in the forest |

| Especially this little guy who spent about 10 min with us |

ReplyDeletePenny will be soooo jealous - she always wanted to get to Madagascar
Love to see more photos of lemurs, plants, insects, etc....
Have fun

Serious?! If you cared about the wildlife you wouldn't be petting and feeding them. This is how animals are slowly damaged by ignorant tourists. Are you aware of how many of these animals there are left in the wild? Absolutely irresponsible and ignorant behaviour. PLEASE do your research and think again before contributing to the demise of beautiful creatures like these.
