A Verreaux's Sifaka leaps along a dirt track between trees, Berenty Reserve, Madagascar, December 2015

Verreaux's Sifaka’s body is so highly adapted to an arboreal existence that on the ground their only means of locomotion is hopping and it’s a scene I’d long hoped to witness. On my very first trip to Madagascar I had the great pleasure of documenting it in Berenty Reserve in the south-east of Madagascar.
