Stamp- Coquerel's Sifaka

Description

This stamp features a Coquerel's Sifaka, which is a type of Lemur!
Some Coquerel's Sifaka ( Propithecus verreauxi coquereli ) facts:
- All of the Sifakas are very different from other Lemurs in the way they move. Sifakas use a type of locomotion in trees called Vertical Clinging and Leaping. They ONLY hop sideways off trees, and then they land sideways on the next tree. Because they always move like this, their hind legs have changed greatly, and now they can only hop to the side. So, when they get on the ground, they must leap sideways to get anywhere, similar to a crab. Some people think this looks funny, like they're showing off with a dance, but it's just an odd side-effect of they way they climb!
- The hit kid's TV show, Zoboomafoo, features a Coquerel's Sifaka as the star!
