Diademed sifakas are built for life in the canopy, using powerful hind legs to leap between trees, and just as easily hang or pivot upside down to reach food. I photographed this one on my first visit to Madagascar back in 2007 on an island for rescued lemurs. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 400, f/4.5 at 1/250th of a second, two Nikon SB-600 flash units.
