Sifaka Face
by Laura Milholland

San Francisco Zoo, CA

These energetic creatures are one kind of lemur, and are found only in Madagascar.
The name sifaka comes from the distinct “shif-auk” call these animals make.
They are a hoot to watch as they go "bouncing" and "flying" around in their enclosure.
They can actually propel themselves from 20-30 feet when moving from tree to tree.
He was fairly close to the glass window, so I was limited in the angle and background for the shot.
