Indri indri indri - Indri lemur

RANGE and DISTRIBUTION: Northeaster Madagascar: found in montane rainforests from Bemarivo and Anjanaharibe-Sud south to Analamazaotra (Perinet)

SIZE: generally 7 - 10 kg

IUCN Status: Endangered

LOCAL NAMES: Babakoto, Amboanala

NOTES:

The indri is the largest of all surviving lemurs and is best known for its eerie, yet beautiful song which can carry for more than 1.2 miles (2 km).

The indri is active during the day, feeding on canopy fruits and leaves

The indri will bark when confronted with danger and make kissing sounds when affectionate

Despite its large size, the Indri refuses to move along the ground, and will negotiate gaps by leaping, often over 33 feet (10 m) between tree trunks.

Naturally rare due to its low birth rate (one birth every three years) and small population density, today the Indri's numbers are small and dwindling due to habitat loss.

The Indri does not do well in captivity or tolerate habitat disturbance; traits that are major setbacks for possible rehabilitation projects and conservation.
