Black lemur
Black lemur. Male black lemur (Eulemur macaco) in a tree. Black lemurs live in forests on the north-western tip of Madagascar and on two neighbouring islands. They feed on fruits, flowers, nectar and leaves, spending most of its time in the forest canopy. Destruction of the forests of Madagascar means that this diurnal lemur is becoming increasingly rare. Photographed in north-western Madagascar

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and vulnerability of a male black lemur, gracefully perched on a tree in the lush forests of north-western Madagascar. With its striking ebony fur contrasting against the vibrant green foliage, this endemic primate is a true marvel of nature. Black lemurs, scientifically known as Eulemur macaco, are diurnal creatures that rely on fruits, flowers, nectar, and leaves for sustenance. Unfortunately, their existence is threatened by the destruction of their forest habitat. As deforestation continues to ravage Madagascar's landscapes, these arboreal mammals are becoming increasingly rare. The image captures a moment frozen in time - an intimate glimpse into the life of this remarkable creature. Its piercing eyes seem to reflect both resilience and fragility as it finds solace amidst its diminishing home. Photographed with precision and artistry in north-western Madagascar by Science Photo Library (not affiliated with any company), this print serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect Earth's diverse fauna. It invites us to appreciate the intricate web of life that exists within these forests while urging us to take action towards conservation efforts. Intriguingly unique yet emblematic of Africa's rich biodiversity heritage, this black lemur stands tall as an ambassador for all endangered species worldwide. Let it serve as inspiration for future generations to cherish and safeguard our planet's precious wildlife treasures before they fade away forever.
