Field Notes

Description:

I captured this portrait of a male Ring-tailed Lemur (Lemur catta) several hours after sunrise. Ring-tailed Lemurs are highly social, living in groups of up to 30 individuals. Fortunately for photographers they are the most terrestrial of all lemur species and offer unrivalled photographic opportunities of the island’s more than 100 lemur species.

Habitat:

Spiny Forests of Southern Madagascar

I think your location tag is off. These guys don't live in the ocean near the Antarctic. Great photo though!
