The indri lemur is a large primate native to the rainforests of Madagascar. It is known for its distinctive black and white fur and its loud, haunting calls that can be heard over long distances. Indris are the largest living lemurs and can weigh up to 4.5 kilograms (10 pounds). They primarily eat leaves, fruits, and flowers, and are known for their unique vertical clinging and leaping locomotion. Indri lemurs are social animals, often found in small family groups. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds through their diet. Unfortunately, their populations are threatened due to habitat loss and hunting, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
