We all know King Julien is a bit of a narcissist, but never did it cross by mind that other lemurs are also utterly unable to get enough of themselves. Until the selfie above caught my eye, that is.

From where I stand, the lemur in this picture is nothing if not fascinated with its own good looks, and quite convinced that it is simply irresistible. Just look at it trying to dazzle us with its intense gaze. Sources say that this hilarious picture was taken by wildlife photographer Simone Sbaraglia while visiting the Vakona Nature Reserve.

“I spent a whole day photographing these ringtail lemurs.”

“They are curious by nature and several times they came really close and held the camera in their hands, looking down the lens, as if trying to understand what I was doing,” the photographer commented on this experience.
