Indrids are strict vegetarians. They feed on leaves, fruits, bark, and flowers. Their stomachs are simple but large, their intestinal tracts are unusually long (in part due to an elongated caecum), …

Ancient DNA recovered from subfossils recently supported a sister relationship between giant "sloth" lemurs and extant indriids and helped to revise the phylogenetic position of …

Indriids are a relatively small family with only three living genera (Avahi, Propithecus, and Indri). They are all specialized vertical clingers and leapers with very long hindlimbs. They are …

In indriids, the skull is broader and higher compared with both height and width of the lemur skull, but the facial skeleton is still positioned in front of the braincase. The indriid snout is …

The woolly lemurs are the smallest indriids with a body size of 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20 in) and a weight of 600 to 1,200 g (21 to 42 oz). Their fur is short and woolly. [ 4 ] The body can be grey …
