Verreauxs sifaka in Kirindi forest Sorry for the poor shot, there was a lot of backlight in the scene.<br /> <br /> Note that I am in doubt as to whether this is a Decken&#039;s Sifaka or a Verreauxs sifaka. The dark fur on their head suggests this is a Verreauxs sifaka, but according to my lemur book they do not appear in the Kirindi area.

Verreauxs sifaka in Kirindi forest

Note that I am in doubt as to whether this is a Decken's Sifaka or a Verreauxs sifaka. The dark fur on their head suggests this is a Verreauxs sifaka, but according to my lemur book they do not appear in the Kirindi area.
