Oh, Madgascar, oh lemurs. Here is another, the magnificent Verreaux’s sifaka, who performs the most powerful of leaps through the air and the most comical of leaps on the ground. Theo drew one, too, and his shows their incredible speed, but all in all, we’ll let Attenborough do the talking for us. Please watch the video below Theo’s drawing. It’s amazing!

  2. Boy, Theo, that is one fast lemur! Great drawing!

  3. Thanks for the drawings and video. Very interesting. Theo did a great job of showing a lemur in motion. Keep up the good work, you guys!
