Sifaka is a four-members- moving long-tailed lemurs. The lemur has a coat white, yellow, black stained and stands in group. Groups orbit around a core of adults. The sifaka genus often evolves in groups ranging from 2 to 13 individuals, the group remains closely linked and does not observe  any form of hierarchy until the breeding season arrives (between January and March).

During this period, the males fight to court the females to copy. The latter, according to their wishes, then reserves the right to accept or not the various advances.
Able to move on the ground with rare elegance, the Sifaka is a very good acrobat. When on the ground, using only his two hind legs, he is able to alternate between slow walking and spectacular jumping.
To accelerate the pace, he uses his front pasta to “gallop”. This ability to move gracefully on flat ground earns him the nickname of “the lemur dancer”. If they are known for their wild dancing steps, Sifaka are also fine gourmets, they have a varied diet and eat flowers, leaves, fruits and buds.
This is why it is common to observe tiara Sifaka feeding on guavas (in the month of…).
And if you see a sifaka feeding on its own on an unusual food (termite mounds, earth…) it is certainly not an excess of greed, it is because it has the ability to perform “self-medication”.
