Photo by @FransLanting Lemurs are descendants of primitive primates that once ranged across Africa, Europe, and North America, but there they were later displaced by monkeys. Now more than a hundred kinds of lemurs survive only in Madagascar, where monkeys never occurred. Roaming with a troop of ring-tailed lemurs, I fell under the spell of their daily lives, and watched this baby learn to see the world through its mother’s eyes. This Image is featured in our new book, “Into Africa,” which has just been published. It’s based on the exhibition by the same name created for @natgeo and the Smithsonian. Follow me @FransLanting for more images of Wild Africa and to learn more about the book.
