Indri indri
The indri, also called the babakoto, is one of the largest living lemurs. It is a diurnal tree-dweller related to the sifakas and, like all lemuroids, it is native to Madagascar. It is found only in one place in Madagascar, the Andasibe/Mantadia area in the north east rainforest. The indri practices long-term monogamy, seeking a new partner only after the death of a mate. It lives in small groups consisting of the mated male and female and their maturing offspring.
This lemur inhabits the lowland and montane forests along the eastern coast of Madagascar.
This is spotting 3500!

Thank Tiz... Well for me I would definitely be happier without the cold! Any news on further moves? I'm in Kenya now, looking for a trip to Masai Mara.
Be well, stay WARM!
Congratulations on a fab. number of spottings, and what a great find! David's favourite lemur!!! :) I hope you have a great time in Africa! I am suffering from cold weather in Sweden! But what would life be without the contrasts!
