Indri

I am not to sure about this as given the extremely difficult light or lack of it processing has been an interesting experience.
A long uphill walk in Andasibe National Park was followed by a sighting of a small group of these wonderful animals fairly low down in the trees/shrubbery.

EOS 1DX
70-200mm F2.8 MkII at 70mm
F7.1,
ISO 32900
1/250

Quite why I stopped down so much is beyond me

Not technically one of your best Ken, but those green eyes make it worth the post.

Sometimes just seeing an unusual and rare animal and then getting the bonus of a photograph of it ,makes it all worth while even when it is not your absolute best image.You have seen and photographed a creature that most of us have never seen.this makes it a most worth while and special. photograph and well worth the time involved in getting .
cheers. suzanne

It seems that I posted the wrong version, I agree that this does not work as well as it could do.

I have some more and hopefully images of the remarkable animals that I will post in the future.

The most unfortunate thing about photography is that you get no sound, the call of the Indri is possibly the most evocative sound I have ever heard.

Luckily we have it on my wife's video
