June 14, 2005. A Lemur from Jerusalem, Israel. The photographer states: At The Krafsur Family Lemur Exhibit, also fondly referred to as Lemur Land, which is a unique enclosure. The exhibit is situated on a side path that descends along a steep slope, and visitors are welcome to enter the enclosure by passing through double doors. Immediately upon entry, one meets up with four different types of lemur, all of them wandering freely in a broad and spacious enclosure, with no partitions or obstructions coming between them and their human visitors. The residents of Lemur Land include the Ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta), the Brown lemur (Lemur fulvus fulvus), the Black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata variegata), and the Red ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata rubra). The exhibit is staffed at all times by keepers, volunteers, or guides, who are always ready to provide explanations regarding the lemurs and their forest habitats on the island of Madagascar.
