Mayotte has Lemurs!







Most types of lemurs are found in Madagascar, but Mayotte also has its own species of lemur, and has set aside a small island as a lemur sanctuary. We were fortunate to visit during the breeding season in September. Can you find the baby lemur? (Unlike kangaroos and other marsupials, the mother lemur has no pouch…Baby must hold tight or else!.)
