Verreaux's sifaka lemur (Propithecus verreauxi verreauxi) leaping from one tree to another. This lemur is endemic to the forests of south-western Madagascar, feeding on fruits, flowers, bark and leaves. It lives in small matriarchal groups, usually numbering between 5 and 10 individuals. This lemur is named for its distinctive si-fa-ka"" call, which is used as a warning to other group members when predators are near. It is a large lemur, measuring up to 110 centimetres in length. Destruction of the forests of Madagascar means that Verreaux's sifaka is becoming increasingly rare. Photographed in the Berenty Reserve, Madagascar." | |
