Bipedal Hopping Video


Marojejy National Park (Camp 2): 2003

Although western sifakas, like Verreaux’s sifaka, are reknown for occasional terrestrial bipedal locomotion, rainforest sifakas do it too (though far less often)!  In silky sifakas, bipedal hopping occurs on the ground as well as when they are forced to cross narrow substrates such as a log over a gully as seen in this video.
