Nature photographer Varun Aditya captured these dancing lemurs on Madagascar, to which someone has added appropriate music.
Let's talk about sifakas (genus Propithecus) and why they dance whenever they leave the trees.

Verreaux's sifakas (Propithecus verreauxi) masterfully leap vertically between trees, rapidly bounding with precision even between dangerous spiny thorn shrubs. When no trees are present, they leap across the ground in a side-long dance. Threats include rampant deforestation and hunting. Endangered.

Von der Decken's sifakas (Propithecus deckenii) are endemic to western Madagascar. Renowned for their resilience, they traverse inhospitable "tsingy" landscapes; limestone formations with needle-like spires. Threatened by human encroachment and mass deforestation. Critically Endangered.

Der Lebensraum der Kattas überschneidet sich oft mit dem der Larvensifakas (Propithecus verreauxi). Ihr Körperbau ist stark an das Leben in den Bäumen angepasst und sie kommen nur selten auf den Boden herunter.
