Verreaux's sifaka  (Propithecus verreauxi)

Like all lemurs, Verreaux's sifaka occurs only in Madagascar. Its range curves around the south-west corner of the island; from Tsiribihina River in central western Madagascar, south to the Andohahela region (2).

Verreaux's sifaka is found in a range of habitats; from tropical dry lowland forest, to montane forestat 1,300 metres above sea level, and lowland, humid rainforest in the south-east of its range (1) (2).
