Indri. ^BIndri^b (^IIndri indri^i). This is the largest of the lemurs
^BIndri^b (^IIndri indri^i). This is the largest of the lemurs, its body reaching 90 centimetres in length. It lives in the rainforests of north- eastern Madagascar, feeding on fruits, leaves and flowers. The indri lives in small groups of between 3 and 5 individuals. Its loud call, which can be heard from over a mile away, is used to advertise the presence of the group to other lemurs. The destruction of the indris habitat has led to a rapid decline in its population numbers. Photographed in the Analamazaotra or Perinet Special Reserve, Madagascar

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Indri, the largest of all lemurs, in its natural habitat. With a body length of up to 90 centimeters, this remarkable primate resides in the lush rainforests of north-eastern Madagascar. Its diet primarily consists of fruits, leaves, and flowers found within these dense forests. Living in small groups comprising three to five individuals, the Indri employs its powerful vocalizations to communicate with other lemurs across vast distances. Its distinctive call can be heard echoing through the forest for over a mile, serving as an advertisement for the presence of its group. Sadly, due to extensive deforestation and destruction of their habitat, the population numbers of these incredible creatures have rapidly declined. This photograph was taken within the Analamazaotra or Perinet Special Reserve in Madagascar – one of the few remaining sanctuaries where these endangered lemurs find refuge. The image captures a moment frozen in time; it portrays an Indri displaying shock or surprise on its expressive face. The wide-eyed gaze reflects both fear and astonishment at something unexpected. This snapshot serves as a reminder not only of their vulnerability but also highlights our responsibility to protect and conserve these rare species that contribute immensely to our planet's biodiversity.
