The Indri Indri, up close and personal If you&#039;d ask us why we spend a fortune travelling the world, spending our holidays in primitive and exhausting conditions, it is this. A personal meeting with an extraordinary and rare animal in its natural habitat. A photo cannot explain the moment, but it moves us unlike anything else. You&#039;ll forget that you&#039;re sweaty, tired from carrying gear and sleeping poorly, cogwebbed in your face and stung all over. Because you have met the Indri, and he has met you. And nobody will ever take away that moment from you.<br />

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.
