Description
Verreaux's sifaka lemur (Propithecus verreauxi) leaping above the ground. This lemur lives in the rainforests and deciduous forests of south-western Madagascar, feeding on fruits, flowers, bark and leaves. It lives in small groups, usually of between 5 and 10 individuals. The group scent marks its territory and defends it from other lemurs. 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. Destruction of the forests of Madagascar means that Verreaux's sifaka is becoming increasingly rare. Photographed in the Berenty Reserve, Madagascar."
