Sifaka

Sifaskas is a lemur found in the forest of Madagascar. They spend most of their time in trees. Sifaka's arms are short and movement is restricted, but the hind legs are large and strong, and they have the power to jump from tree to tree. Sifakas also quickly moved the ground with two legs to jump to the side. They can even rely on the most harsh plants in the thorny forest where they live. Sifakas is colorful and has a multicolored head. They were named after the unique calls through the Madagascar forest. Sifakas lives in 3 to 10 families and travels half a mile a day. They use scents to mark their territory, but the family ranges often overlap. Members communicate over long distances via long deep calls

Sifakas spent time to eat about 100 kinds of plants and look for food. They eat all parts of the plant - leaves, flowers, fruits, buds, bark. These lemurs can eat toxic plants such as poison ivy. Sifaka is threatened by the destruction of the Madagascar forest. Many conservation groups are cooperating with the Madagascar government to provide protected areas for these lemurs.

In 2006, there were ten visitors to the Sifaka Group, but by the year 2009 only one lemur rye was left. The population of Sifaka has recovered through intervention to prevent visitors from visiting, but highlights how ecotourism is beginning to affect lemurs. One way you can make meaningful changes during your visit to Madagascar is to tell the tour guide that you are happy waiting for your turn to see lemurs. Implementing the rules for six people by themselves not only reduces the pressure on lemurs but also helps keep the tropical rainforest bushes (and the animals that depend on it), which often tramples down when the flock competes for lemur's main position ) Can also be protected.

Velo's Sifaka (P. verreauxi) has white, shoulder and side with black, sometimes black crown. Coquerel's Sifaca (P. coquereli) is somewhat similar; it lives in the sparse forest of the southern desert of Madagascar. The other two species live in the dry forests of West Madagascar. Larger diademed Sifaka (P. diadema), Silky Sifaka (P. candidus) and Milne-Edwards sifaka (P. edwardsi) live in East Madagascar's rain forest. Milne-Edwards' Sifaka is black or brown, usually with white spots at the back and both sides, with a beautiful white layer, silver behind, thin gold at the back, and black on the crown and collar. . Black or Perrier 's Sifaka (P. perrieri) lives in the dry northwest highland of Ankara, but Golden, first described scientifically in 1988, or Tattersall Sifaka (P. tattersalli) I live only in Daraina area. Northeast

There are several types of Sifaka with different sizes and colors. Depending on the species, the weight is between 7 and 13 pounds, and all sifaka have amazingly beautiful furs. Vehicle Sifaka living in the forest of the peach cactus is white with black faces and fur on the head. Coclere 's Sifaka' s arms have deep orange brown furcs at the top and white furs at other parts of the body clearly contrast. Sifaka is unique to Madagascar and some species only live on a small part of the island. Sifaka of Velo lives in a spiny forest and a dry forest in the south. In arid areas these areas have less than 14 inches rainfall per year. Despite the lack of food, these primates succeeded in picking leaves with an intelligent nose from octopus trees and other dry plants.
