Animal Facts
Like all lemurs, sifakas have a toothcomb - tightly standing lower incisors that are used to comb through fur or assist feeding.
Polyandry in sifakas is thought to have evolved to reduce male infanticide by making it impossible to trace paternity in a group.
When in oestrus, female sifakas are only receptive for one day during the mating season.
Sifakas have a unique method of terrestrial locomotion: instead of walking on all fours like other lemurs, they hop on their hind legs and use their tail for balance.
Traditionally, Malagasy culture prohibits killing of sifakas due to a legend in which a sifaka leapt to save a boy falling from a tree when he was stung by bees that attacked him while collecting honey.
