Dance of the Sifakas. The amazing "Verreaux's Dancing Sifaka". Berenty Wildlife Reserve, southern Madagascar.

            Verreaux's sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi) are actually tree-dwelling lemurs of the Madagascan forests. 
They move through the trees by clinging and leaping between vertical supports. They are capable of making remarkable leaps through the trees - distances of 9-10m are not uncommon.  They live and forage for food in small troops, eating almost any plant parts that are above ground. Though adapted for a life spent in spiny trees, these lemurs still have to cross open ground occasionally. They do this up on their hind legs with their forearms held up high for balance. The name sifaka comes from the noisy barking call they make during territorial confrontations.
