Emur catta
Unfortunately I wasn't able yet to spot it in its real habitat. This was in the Amsterdam Zoo
When visiting the zoo recently I found out the Ring-tailed lemur and the red ruffed lemur are no longer together in the zoo. Although they lived together for quiet some time they all of a sudden have gotten into a fight. It seems the zoo does change their behavior.

I've added a note on their behavior towards the red-ruffed lemur: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/662...
Look disturbed and angry... just feel in first picture..Nice show..!!
They don't look very friendly. Nice shots though.
Thanks for lovely comments.
Lovely eyes...!!
Nice, the whole family lined up?
Lovely shot. Beware of your picknick basket when these little critters are around!
@LarsKorb. Thanks!
It took some time to shoot these, since these animals never sit still very long :-). But is was really fun.
nice clean shot, btw
Katta is the common name (the scientific name (ending) is catta - as you posted correctly)
@LarsKorb Would Katta be a nickname, or a correction to the given scientific name?
They're called Katta(s) if I am not totally wrong...
