Madagascar is home to over 101 species of lemurs, ranging in size from the pygmy lemur (just 25g!) to the Indri (9kg).

They are unique to the island and display a range of interesting behaviors from singing like a whale to sashaying across the sand like a ballet dancer.

He had some wonderful feedback on his return 🥰
