Sifakas

Sifaka is a lemur. Local people in Madagascar named them on their unique phone.

These primates are mainly in trees, but they do not turn like any other lemurs. Sifakas stays upright, they jump with powerful hind legs and jump from tree to tree. In this way, they can get rid of distances beyond 30 feet. They can also move faster on the ground, they use two feet to jump sideways

Sifakas is beautifully colored. They may have different colors limbs and bodies, and their heads are multicolour, usually black, white, gray or gold fur. These vegetarian primates eat leaves, flowers, fruits, buds and bark - Sifaka is known to have eaten about 100 different plants. They are eating during the day and sleeping happily before sunset

Sifakas lives in a small family of 3 to 10 animals. Men may range from one group to another, but only one woman is considered to breed per group.

All Sifakas are threatened by destruction of forest habitats. Several species are hunted for meat but other species are protected by Madagascar tradition and are prohibited from eating their meat.

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 furs 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.
