Description
This lovely animal lived 47 million years ago in the Eocene era when the earth was covered in a steamy rain forest from pole to pole. It looked very close to a lemur but it had opposable thumbs and fingernails rather then claws.
Only one fossil has ever been found and it was found in Germany. It was a nine month old juvenile female which was 95% intact. The fossil included some fur and skin, even some stomach contents. It seems she ate seeds, leaves and fruits. They named her Ida.
This is my portrait of Ida as I imagine her to be curious, playful and bright.
Thank you so much for you kind comments and favorites on my last picture "Farm in Autumn"

Very luminous image, Ida is gorgeous, her pose and the environnement are fabulous, your images are always a treasure to behold !
excellent scene
Very beautiful nature scene my friend, excellent work.
Amazing work,
That looks like a prehensile tail - think she swung from branches?
Splendid details and composition! Great informations, thanks! :)
Fascinating and great fun. I especially like the undergrowth. The sparce little red flowers (?) add realism and the tiny white cattails make it otherworldly. Ooooh, great atmos too.
Schöner Render!
Very cool scene!!
A splendid portrait and I love the yellow green lighting. It gives the image a sense of a hot, bright and humid day. Beautiful work.
Oh, this is such a beautiful picture. The steamy air of the forest, the green thicket and in between the red flower. The animal is quite delightful, as it wants to catch the butterfly. Extraordinary work of art! Wonderful!
Ohhh....Adorable creation as usual here, dazzling environment my friend, the lighting is superb, thank you for sharing!
An outstanding interpretation of the lush forest and Darwinius (Ida) herself!
Excellent work!

Excellent image and interesting informative intro, thanks, hugs Jane xx
Such lush landscaping and interesting creature!
A great story about that fossil, dear Patty ;-). I love this scene, the contrast with that 'old creature', and then that lovely butterfly and surroundings; all that lushing green. A delight!
