Sclater's Lemur by Sheila Smith
The black lemur or Sclater’s Lemur was the first of these two subspecies named, so blue-eyed lemurs are regarded as a subspecies of the black lemur. Blue-eyed lemurs have long tails which are often carried high in the air as the animals move. This subspecies has distinctively different colours in males and females. Males are completely black, while females vary from reddish-brown to gray. Blue-eyed lemurs are the only primate besides humans with blue eyes. The Blue-Eyed lemur lives in fairly large groups which may contain more than one breeding animal of each sex. The Sclater’s Lemur is critically endangered in the wild.

Spiny Leaf Chameleon: Up close and personal! by Ollie de Brett
Here is the same Brookesia decaryi chameleon again. I decided to take a more detailed shot of his face and thought black and white added a nice effect. Taken in the jungle west of Farafangana, Madagascar.

Lemur Love by ApeArt
Lemurs are primates found only on the African island of Madagascar and some tiny neighboring islands. Because of its geographic isolation, Madagascar is home to many amazing animals found nowhere else on Earth. Lemurs may have floated there eons ago on “rafts” of vegetation and evolved in isolation over countless centuries. / Ring-tailed lemurs are unmistakable because of their long, vividly striped, black-and-white tail. They are familiar residents of many zoos. Lemurs use their hands and feet to move nimbly through the trees, but cannot grip with their tails as some of their primate cousins do. Ring-tailed lemurs also spend a lot of time on the ground, which is unusual among lemur species. They forage for fruit, which makes up the greater part of their diet, but also eat leaves, flowers, tree bark, and sap.
