Jerry,

Wow, what a landscape! :o "Going for a hike" takes on a whole new meaning! And those lemurs - not exactly blending in there! But presumably no natural enemies to worry about. Can't help but wonder what the success rate is for them when they jump from cliff to cliff... :huh:

Amazing! Thanks for the link. I had seen a National Geographic special on the Lemurs a few years ago.

Absolutely amazing! A Hilton Hotel built into the middle of this would be neat! Just kidding!!! This could almost be included in to the 7th Wonders of the World.

Thanks Jerry.
