The image is a close-up of a red ruffed lemur sitting on a tree trunk. The lemur has a reddish-brown fur coat with white patches on its head and back. Its eyes are wide open and its mouth is slightly open, as if it is looking directly at the camera. Its tail is curled around its body and its paws are resting on the bark of the tree. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a wooded area with trees and foliage.
