𝕊𝕚𝕗𝕒𝕜𝕒 𝕊𝕥𝕪𝕝𝕖 Fluffy, flashy, and fearless—meet the diademed sifaka (𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢)! With its silvery crown, golden arms, and dramatic black face, this stunning lemur is one of Madagascar’s most eye-catching species. Unfortunately, it is also Critically Endangered! Filmed at our field site in La Mananara, this clip briefly captures its signature move: powerful, graceful leaps through the treetops like a forest ballerina. Don’t blink—you’ll miss the magic! #lemur

Meet the Verreaux’s Sifaka, one of Madagascar’s most iconic lemurs. Because they can’t walk on all fours, they use this incredible sideways “dance walk” whenever they’re on the ground. This adorable hopping style helps them keep balance while moving between forests, and it’s one of the rarest movements in the animal kingdom. Sifakas spend most of their time in the trees, jumping up to 30 feet in a single leap! Sadly, their habitats are shrinking, making sightings like this even more special. Wat
