Gentle Lemur or Bandro

The Lac Alaotra Gentle Lemur (Hapalemur alaotrensis), also known as the Alaotran Gentle Lemur or locally as the Bandro, is a bamboo lemur. It is endemic to the reed beds in and around Lac Alaotra, in northeast Madagascar. The Alaotran Lemur is the only primate specifically adapted to living in papyrus reeds. Unlike other bamboo lemurs, the Lac Alaotra Gentle Lemur does not eat bamboo, instead, it feeds on the papyrus reeds of its habitat

beach bar

Madagascar. The beach in Antsiranana.
One of the many local beach bars, where people get wasted on the weekend. There were the young people having some more or less harmless fun, but there was also a lot of obvious prostitution and sexual exploitation going on, sometimes involving minors. We saw lots of old westerners with very young local girls and boys. Disgusting and decadent.
