Thanks AH! Good question. I wonder if they were ever bitten by the turtles. Terrified is the right word too, because when the Lemurs would land, they hit the ground running full speed.

LOL! Yep - Iike this one Andy. I wonder if the turtles have any idea that these leaping lemurs are actually terrified of them!! ;-)

Thanks Typeaux,

It wasn't that hard to get this, because I had lots of chances. There were 2 of these guys that wanted to cross the log and go in their house (which was closed). So, they kept going back and forth. They seemed scared to death of this turtle. They kept sneaking up to it and then they would spring over it, for all they were worth! It was funny to watch.

Leapin' lemurs, Andy!It looks like this guy is coming in for a landing. What a shot!
