| At a community-run preserve near Andasibe, Madagascar, a guide has earned this indri's trust, so we got to see her close up . . . |

The next day, at a national park nearby, diademed sifakas put on quite a show.
 |
| (MK) |
We also saw some lemurs who were too shy or too fast to photograph. Rie and Christian--our guide the first day--are looking for common brown lemurs here. We also saw bamboo lemurs and, on a night hike, some mouse lemurs.

We also saw all kinds of other creatures great and small, like this nose-horned chameleon,
 |
| (MK) |
and tiny frogs,
 |
| (MK) |
a giraffe-necked weevil,
 |
| (MK) |
a poisonous spider,
 |
| (KK) |
and all kinds of plants we'd never seen before.

And with luck, there's more to come. Stay tuned!
