Some say Quokkas are the happiest animals for the natural way their face is shaped. But seriously, this Lemurs comes so close to that Quokka face!

Latin name: Hapalemur Alaotrensis

Originates from northeast Madagascar.

Current status: Critically Endangered

Did you know:

…The Lac Alaotra Gentle Lemur is the only Lemur specifically adapted to living in papyrus reeds.
