Avahi - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | AVAHI, the native name of a Malagasy lemur (Avahis laniger) nearly allied to the indri, and the smallest representative of the subfamily Indrisinae, characterized by its woolly coat, and measuring about 28 in. |
 | | Unlike the other members of the group, the avahi is nocturnal, and does not associate in small troops, but is met with either alone or in pairs. |
 | | Very slow in its movements, it rarely descends to the ground, but, when it does, walks upright like the other members of the group. |
