| Description |
A noctural lemur of western deciduous dry forests, the Fat-tailed Dwarf Lemur has the unusual habit of "hibernating" in tree holes for six to eight months during the dry season, relying on fat reserves stored in its tail - hence the name. I photographed this lemur during a guided night walk in Kirindy. Kirindy Forest is a privately managed conservation area, ca. 40 km north-east of the town of Morondava. Not part of the official National Park System of Madagascar, this 120 sqkm area was earlier operated as an experimental sustainable timber harvesting scheme. Fortunately, this has not left indelible scars and the site is now considered as one of finest remaining examples of endemic western dry deciduous forest. |
