Verraux 's Sifaka Lemur.






































































Oh Sifakas. They're one of my favorite primates -- mainly because of how playful they are. Most of their time is eating and jumping around. They don't walk or run, only jump. XTREME!!

Well, sort of. Whenever they feel threatened, one just starts screaming, and then the rest of them join. It's really annoying and it can last for like 20 minutes. Probably good if there is a predator. But as someone who was just walking by them, it was a pain waiting for them to stop shrilling. I suppose they didn't know I wouldn't harm them. But still, not quite as extreme.
Like all Lemurs, they're all in Madagascar.
