Identification and description:
The White-fronted lemur is a species of lemur endemic to Madagascar, where it primarily lives in the humid tropical forests of the island's northwest. It is easily recognized by its gray-brown fur and the large white patch on its forehead, from which it derives its name. This lemur is primarily frugivorous, feeding on fruits, flowers, and nectar. It lives in complex social groups and exhibits strong territorial behaviors, including loud vocalizations to define its territory. Although often active during the day, it is also known to be particularly active at dusk.

Recommended lens:
300 mm – adjust based on distance, desired framing (portrait or habitat), and approach conditions.

Photography tips:
Photograph the White-fronted lemur using a telephoto lens, especially when it is in the trees or on branches. Use soft lighting to capture the details of its fur and face, particularly the white patch on its forehead. Be patient, as these lemurs are often discreet and may spend time in the canopy. A discreet approach is essential to avoid disturbing their natural behavior.
