An indri (Indri indri) in eastern Madagascar

An indri (Indri indri) in eastern Madagascar. The Indri are Madagscars largest lemur, standing about a metre high, with a barely visible tail. Looking more like a panda than a lemur, they propel themselves through the air with their immensely powerful back legs. Indris communicate with each other with a piercing, high-pitched wailing sound. They have three calls: one for communication, one for danger and one for courtship or mating. They live in groups of between three and five. Each group ranges over 32 hectares of forest, eating no less than 40 different types of leaves and foliage a day. No indris have ever survived in captivity. Lemurs belong to a group of primates called the prosimians, meaning before monkeys. Everywhere in the world except Madagascar, monkeys replaced them 35 million years ago. Madagascar has outstanding biodiversity; most of its flora and fauna is unique to the island and can be found nowhere else

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an indri, Madagascar's largest lemur species, in its natural habitat in eastern Madagascar. Standing at a remarkable height of about a meter and with a barely visible tail, the indri bears a striking resemblance to a panda rather than your typical lemur. What sets these incredible creatures apart is their ability to propel themselves through the air using their immensely powerful hind legs. Indris are known for their unique method of communication - emitting piercing, high-pitched wailing sounds that can be heard echoing through the forest. They have three distinct calls: one for communication among group members, another to signal danger, and finally one used during courtship or mating rituals. Living in small groups ranging from three to five individuals, each group roams over an impressive 32 hectares of lush forest. Feeding on an extensive diet consisting of more than 40 different types of leaves and foliage per day, indris play a vital role in maintaining the delicate balance within their ecosystem. Sadly, no indris have ever survived in captivity due to their specialized needs. Lemurs like the indri belong to a group called prosimians which predates monkeys by millions of years. While lemurs once thrived worldwide before being replaced by monkeys around 35 million years ago, Madagascar remains home to these fascinating primates along with many other unique flora and fauna species found nowhere else on Earth. This photo serves as a reminder of Madagascar's outstanding biodiversity and the importance of preserving its natural treasures for future generations.
