Indri n a tree
Indri in a tree. Indris (Indri indri) are the largest of the lemurs, with their bodies reaching up to 90 centimetres in length. They live in the rainforests of north-eastern Madagascar in small groups of between 3 and 5 individuals, and feed on fruits, leaves and flowers. Their loud call, which can be heard from over a kilometre away, is used to advertise the presence of the group to other lemurs. Photographed in the Perinet Special Reserve, Madagascar

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic presence of an Indri lemur perched on a tree in the lush rainforests of north-eastern Madagascar. The Indris, known as the largest lemurs, boast bodies that can reach up to an impressive 90 centimetres in length. Living in small groups consisting of three to five individuals, these remarkable creatures thrive on a diet composed of fruits, leaves, and flowers found within their natural habitat. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the indri's striking features and unique behaviors. Emitting a loud call that resonates over a kilometre away, they use this vocalization to communicate with other lemurs and advertise their group's presence amidst the dense forest foliage. Photographed within the enchanting Perinet Special Reserve in Madagascar, this image showcases not only the beauty of nature but also highlights the incredible biodiversity found on this African island. With its clinging posture and arboreal lifestyle, this particular Indri exemplifies its adaptation to life among trees. As an endemic species exclusive to Madagascar, these primates play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance within their ecosystem. This photograph serves as a testament to both their biological significance and undeniable charm. It is through images like these that we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and conserve such extraordinary wildlife for future generations to appreciate and admire.
