A ring-tailed lemur
A ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) pausing on a prickly-pear cactus which they eat. This lemur is easily recognisable by its banded tail. Lemurs belong to a group of primates called the prosimians, meaning before monkeys. Everywhere in the world except Madagascar, monkeys replaced them 35 million years ago. Madagascar has outstanding biodiversity; most of its flora and fauna is unique to the island and can be found nowhere else

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible beauty and uniqueness of a ring-tailed lemur, known scientifically as Lemur catta. The lemur is captured in a moment of stillness, perched delicately on a prickly-pear cactus that serves as its main source of sustenance. Its banded tail stands out prominently, making it easily recognizable among other lemurs. Lemurs are part of an ancient group of primates called prosimians, which existed long before monkeys took over the rest of the world approximately 35 million years ago. However, Madagascar remains their last stronghold where they continue to thrive amidst outstanding biodiversity. This island paradise boasts an array of flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth. The image transports us to Berenty Reserve in Madagascar, where this fascinating creature resides. It offers us a glimpse into the enchanting world these primates inhabit and reminds us how precious and fragile their existence is. Photographed by NP for Discover Images by AWL, this stunning print not only captures the essence of one individual lemur but also symbolizes the importance of preserving our planet's diverse ecosystems. Let it serve as a reminder that every species has its place in nature's tapestry and deserves our utmost respect and protection.
