Indri

The lemur, a primate that resembles a cat, is famous for living in Madagascar. In Madagascar's forests, there are 50 different species of lemur. The largest lemur found on the island of Madagascar is called Indri. They can weigh up to 10 kg and range in body length from 22 to 28 inches. With less than 10,000 individuals, indris are also one of the lemur species that are at risk of extinction.

The eastern half of Madagascar's rainforests are home to the indris. They stay together in tiny packs of four to eight creatures. Indris are known for calling out with a loud voice. They place these calls to talk to one another. These calls are audible from great distances. The indris spend the majority of their lives on trees, just like the sifakas do. Indris can easily grasp tree branches thanks to their muscular legs and large toes. This incredible lemur can jump up to 10 meters to cover a distance.
