Silky Sifaka (Propithecus candidus)
The silky sifaka is one of the world’s most critically endangered species, with their numbers in the wild thought to be less than 250 and still declining (http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/18360/0). They are large lemurs, endemic to Madagascar (as all lemurs are), and their range is further limited to areas of humid forest in the north east of the country. Unsurprisingly, the main threats to their conservation are habitat destruction and hunting.
The only way to visually distinguish between males and females is that males usually have brown staining on their chests from rubbing them onto branches to scent mark. They have scent glands in their chests and scent mark to communicate with other individuals.
They put season 4 of Meerkat Manor on Netflix 8l I hadn’t really watched it much before but I LOVE it now. Totally need to see the other seasons.
So yeah. Have a watercolor painting of a meerkat :3

photographer says THIS FOX IS NOT FAT, AND THIS FOX IS NOT ILL. IT IS ONLY IN ITS EXTREMELY FLUFFY WINTER COAT AND IS CURLED IN TYPICAL FOX SLEEPING POSITION. THAT’S WHY SHE LOOKS SO ROUND.
