I INDRI

Indri Behaviour and Lifestyle
The Indri is a sociable animal, living in small family units of between 2 - 6 individuals, that consist of a male and female pair with their young. Lemurs are unique among primates as it is the females who are the dominant ones, meaning that they get to feed first while the males defend their territory. Indris communicate through a series of eerie wailing calls both to unite families and also to mark their territory, that can be heard up to 2km away. They also urinate along borders to mark out their patch.

During the mating season, tree frogs make loud croak-like calls to one another in order to attract a mate.

The metamorphic process from tadpole to adult tree frog can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
