Jumping lemurs of Madagascar
Categories: Animals
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/jumping-lemurs-of-madagascar.htmlThese lemurs don't seem to be aware that they are one of the rarest primate species on earth. Very calmly and recklessly they jump across the expanses of Madagascar. Black and white lemurs are happy to demonstrate their agility by jumping on their hind legs. These amazing shots were taken by photographer Dale Morris.

11. “During one such photo shoot, one lemur even pooped on my T-shirt. And one day I woke up in my room from the fact that a group of frisky lemurs jumped on my bed.
12. "They, of course, ran away when I woke up, but they took with them bananas and a pack of cigarettes, which I then found completely torn in the forest."
