In Madagascar, we had a breath-taking encounter with several Indri (the largest of the lemur species) calling to each other in the tree canopy over our heads until the sound reverberated through our bodies! We also came across several other lemur species, including elusive and notoriously shy species such as Bamboo Lemurs and Mouse Lemurs. The highlight by far though, was the troop of Verreaux Sifaka, or dancing Sifaka, gracefully leaping and pirouetting through the air, with infant Sifakas clinging to their mother's bellies. At the 'Island of Lemurs,' Black-and-White Ruffed, Golden Sifaka, and Red-Fronted Brown Lemurs played on our head and shoulders, which was a magical and intimate interaction that we all won't soon forget!
