Description
Coquerel's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi coquereli) in a tree. Coquerel's sifaka is a subspecies of Verreaux's sifaka. This lemur lives in the rainforests of Madagascar, feeding on fruits, flowers, bark and leaves. It lives in small groups of between 5 and 10 individuals. The sifaka is named for its distinctive shi-fak" alarm call, which is used to warn members of the group when predators are near. Destruction of the forests of Madagascar means that Coquerel's lemur is becoming increasingly rare."
