Ring-tailed lemurs in the Berenty Reserve of Madagascar

These ring-tailed lemurs enjoy the safety of life in the Berenty Reserve, a protected wildlife area in the southern region of Madagascar. Researchers often study the lemurs in Berenty, where these small primates are free to act naturally, thus netting the best data on how they behave in the wild. Today, the human citizens of Madagascar celebrate their independence with parades, music, and celebrations. Perhaps these lemurs are just waiting for the fireworks to start?
