Ever wonder how lemurs like this Von der Decken’s sifaka got their name? Local Malagasy people named them for the unique call they send echoing through Madagascar’s forests, which sounds like shif-auk. As vegetarians, these primates spend their days foraging for flowers, leaves, fruit, and tree bark, and are known to consume nearly 100 different plant species. They need intact forest to survive, and in turn, the forests of Madagascar depend on lemurs to help maintain the health and reproduction of many tree species. This is no easy feat for the lemurs as forests within this sifakas’ range are already highly fragmented - cut down for charcoal production, then burned to provide pasture for livestock.

This December, we’re counting down to the anniversary of the Endangered Species Act on December 28th. Each day, we’ll feature a different species protected by this act so you can learn more about their stories. #lemur #primate #animal #wildlife #photography #animalphotography #wildlifephotography #studioportrait #PhotoArk #HopeForSpecies @insidenatgeo
