Description

Photo taken in March, 2011 @ Natura Artis Magistra, Royal Amsterdam Zoo, The Netherlands

EDITED

Shot through glass, the photo was quite heavy on the stains, so I tried to adjust that as best as I could.

I'm still very happy with this up-close shot of my dA mascot

Perhaps not the best, but you know, they're lightning fast! And not too fond of lights, so you've got to  be real careful to be able to capture them on the right moment, and in a sharp fashion.


Species: Gray Mouse Lemur (Dwergmuismaki)

 Latin name: Microcebus Murinus

 Originates from Madagascar.

 Current status: Least Concern

  Did you know:  

 …The Gray Mouse Lemur is the very same Malagasy small primate I named myself for, here on DeviantART.

These look so much like our bushbabies!  The faces at least.

I love bushbabies They're a bit bigger than these Mouse Lemurs, I imagine.
