Finally, an Indri at ease Capturing an Indri in a nice position isn&#039;t easy. They tend to move a lot and the environment they live in has thick vegetation to block your view. If not that, it is the lack of light, or too much backlight ruining your photography. Every once in a while though, one may get lucky and they rest for a minute in the same place, like here.<br />

As for movement, females move more because they are more selective in the leaves they eat. Other than for food, Indris also regularly move as high to the tree tops as possible, so that their very loud call have the best range, up to several kms of reach.

The indri, also called the babakoto, is one of the largest living lemurs. It is a diurnal tree-dweller related to the sifakas and, like all lemuroids, it is native to Madagascar.
