Although sometimes weighing over 9 kg, Indri (Indri indri) can make impressive leaps from tree to tree with their powerful long hind legs. Largest of the living lemurs, this critically-endangered species is an icon for the conservation of Madagascar's beleaguered wildlife, and its wailing song never fails to enchant visitors to their forest realm. Occuring only in the tropical rainforests on the island's eastern side, the Indri's natural range has dwindled due to widespread deforestation and hunting, despite their traditionally sacred status. Tomasina, Madagascar.
