Le maki de Mayotte, appelé aussi ankoumba en kibouchi (malgache de Mayotte) ou comba en shimaoré, est un primate lémuriforme considéré comme une variété du lémur fauve ("eulemur fulvus") de Madagascar, ou comme l'une de ses sous-espèces ("eulemur fulvus mayottensis", Schlegel, 1866). Il vit sur les îles de Mayotte et d'Anjouan dans l'archipel des Comores, où il aurait été introduit par l'homme à partir de Madagascar.
The Mayotte maki, also called ankoumba in kibouchi (Malagasy of Mayotte) or comba in shimaore, is a lemurate primate considered as a variety of the tawny lemur ("eulemur fulvus") from Madagascar, or as one of its subspecies ("eulemur fulvus mayottensis", Schlegel, 1866). It lives on the islands of Mayotte and Anjouan in the Comoros archipelago, where it is said to have been introduced by humans from Madagascar.

A rainy day of ball. We were all huddled under a tent and I saw these two under their umbrella with all their gear. What we do to watch our kids play sports!

It might be haunted.
We had a nice chat with a tenant of the building who extolled the high ceilings and pleasant living space of his apartment but also happened to mention that going to the basement of the building was a little unnerving. No wonder, for according to a fascinating blog post by Linda Knight Seccaspina about the building's history, it had been used by a series of funeral directors in the distant past. You can read about the history of the "scariest building in Carleton Place" here:

Sinxela ermida románica, de planta rectangular con cuberta a dúas augas. Muros de cadeirado. Posúe unha soa nave. Espadaña simple. Sufriu recentes restauracións. É un antigo lugar de romeiros, que dende o século XII ata os nosos días acoden en peregrinación, no último domingo de xullo, a dar mostras de devoción popular. Coa marea baixa, pódense achegar á illada ermida.
