I love banana, and so do they! It was neat watching them pick through the white buckets of fruit we had for them, looking for the banana slices. Their precious tiny hands grabbing onto the bucket and pulling it towards them and peering inside looking for the sweet morels of goodness…finally seeing one they plucked it and shoved it in their mouths. This was a shot of a Ring-Tailed Lemur enjoying his (or her) banana slice. I did not increase the saturation of the eyes. The way the sun hit them made them reflect that beautiful vibrant orange color. Lemurs truly are precious gems of the animal kingdom; my heart burst with joy whenever I was around them. Taken at Cango Wildlife Ranch, South Africa, September 2009.

Haha, so many captions come to mind! He looks like he’s been caught doing something wrong or something. Haha, or some other shock, “What?! This isn’t a banana!”. Or he’s just bit himself, “Ouch! Ohhhh, that’s what sister was talking about when I bit her when we were playing earlier today.” Haha

I have to stop checking your site when I’m at coffee shops, because I can’t resist scrolling down to this picture, and then I laugh out loud and people look at me funny. Haha!
