Image: A Lemur (here)
Theme: Animals - L for Lemur
a primate found only in Madagascar
with ghost-like reflective eyes roamingcoupled with wailing screams from afar
strangely with additional tongue for grooming
done on one another as often done by primates
are strangely found within a matriarchal society
where more control is exercised by females
strangely to source for water on its own ingenuity
eat leaves of fleshy plants to get water it was able
strangely blessed with an intelligence of a higher level

A very cool - and edifying - piece. And Cracky … those eyes!
ReplyDeleteWonderfully descriptive and educational. The Lemur is quite different and fascinating. Hope you have a great week Hank and I hope to see you over at the Sunday Muse when ever you get a chance.
