Some background on the photo:

Lemur Kingdom tracks the lives of two neighboring gangs of ringtail lemurs in the beautiful protected reserve of Berenty in southeast Madagascar.

The two gangs—the Furies and the Graveyard Gang—may be neighbors but there's no love lost between them. They zealously defend their respective territories. Violent clashes and numerous border infringements generally mean war.
