Encyclopedic overview
The woolly lemurs, also known as avahis or woolly indris, are nine species of strepsirrhine primates in the genus Avahi. Like all other lemurs, they live only on the island of Madagascar.
The woolly lemurs are the smallest indriids with a body size of 30 to 50 cm (12 to 20 in) and a weight of 600 to 1,200 g (21 to 42 oz). Their fur is short and woolly. The body can be grey-brown to reddish, with white on the back of the thighs, with a long, orange tail. The head is round with a short muzzle and ears hidden in the fur.
