p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Enduring Indri


The indri is the largest of the surviving lemurs. It is incredibly appealing and the young even more so.
They are also very difficult to photograph as they stay in the trees 100% of the time, often in the high canopy, behind vegetation in very dark and often backlit positions. I spent several days following them and managed a variety of behavioural shots, sometimes using flash.
Their call is haunting and can be heard foe over 3 kilometres (that's 2 miles).
Thanks for looking.
Don

Very cool looking lemurs and obviously a very difficult get! Did you manage to video the calling Indri? What's up with the eyes of the first compared to the others...is that a flash issue? I love the pose of the calling one seeing the inside of its mouth.

Thanks Eric. Some of the young have blue eyes (I was told) and that is highlighted by the flash. Others don't show the blue even with the flash. The calling one has it's mouth illuminated with a flash.
I did get a brief video of the call, but it wasn't the best. I have to go back and try again!

Wow!!
I have spent many years photographing howlers in the canopy, so I know how difficult this type of photography can be. The last three images are amazing, especially considering the challenge the species poses to those who dwell on terra firma .

super work Don

Thanks Morris. It can be tricky, but it was a necessity in Madagascar.

Thanks Bruce. I think everyone should practice on howlers before heading to Madagascar.
