#FunFactFriday Peek-a-boo! 👀 The Hubbard’s sportive lemur is a primate found only in a small region of southwest Madagascar. A wild tidbit: these lemurs have been seen practicing coprophagy—eating their own poop—to re-digest nutrients and make the most of their leafy diet! 📷: Cheryl Antonucci

Closeup look at a Helmet-head Gecko (Tarentola chazaliae), encountered on a coastal highway at night in central Morocco. About 4 inches (10cm) in length, these are nocturnal lizards that prey on small insects, esp. ants (much like horned lizards). #herps #lizards #NaturePhotography 🌿
