A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
The tiny mouse lemur is the smallest of the lemurs. This mouse lemur was about 10cm and weighs around 40 grams! It was spotted on a night walk along the border of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park. Normally, these little guys are flighty so difficult to snap a picture of but this one remained put. These lemurs are nocturnal so their eyes are very sensitive to light. A torch (soft light) was used to spot it. Unfortunately, the guide did not do a good job of warning everyone not to use flash so the little guy was bombarded with flashes from the other tourists, stunning it. Hopefully, not blinding it.
