02/26 Indri

The last animal from Madagascar that we covered was the Indri.  The Indri is the largest of the lemurs at about 3 feet tall.  They spend their lives in the trees.

We watched video clips highlighting unique characteristics of the Indris.  The first clip showed their ability to leap up to 30 feet between tree branches in the forest.  In the second we heard how they communicate.  Their wail sounds similar to whale song and can be heard miles away.
