Bounding from tree to tree, they move rapidly through the forest. Called "babakoto" in Malagasy, Indri Lemurs are very cute and also very loud-their territorial calls can be heard for at least a mile. Because some Indris in the Perinet Reserve see people frequently, one can follow them unobtrusively and watch for hours as they go about their business.
