Indri (Indri indri)
Once upon a time, there were extinct lemurs as big as gorillas. Today, the Indri is the largest extant lemur species. But it is critically endangered, too.
This is when this ginormous Indri’s jumping from trees to trees in front of me. Even close enough for me to see the spider web he got on his face during the jump! The largest lemur (Indri) leaping right in my face. Not something I’d encounter every day. Jungle gym trainer checking my biceps and deltoid. 🙂 Ok seriously, gaining trust from the largest lemur on earth and having him come such close is a real privilege. I hope our next generations will still be able to encounter these critically endangered beauties.
