Description

I felt very fortunate to capture this photo. These particular animals that are endangered species (Francois Lemur's), move constantly. But every so often, the baby, who is less than 3 months old here, would hop up and snuggle up to his mom for affection. They are so humanlike, and it was a mesmerizing moment.
