Sifaka Lemurs Jumping Around | Attenborough | BBC Earth

These strange creatures leap from spine covered tree to spine covered tree. Their technique is amazing as they are able to leap from tall tree trunks to land safely and securely, even with babies - if they can avoid their four footed predator, the Fossa. Subscribe: bit.ly/BBCEarthSub
From the BBC's Life of Mammals documentary series.

Aww, every time I see Sifaka lemurs I’m always reminded of Zaboomafoo with the Kratt Brothers. RIP Jovian, little buddy, you will forever be missed… 💚💙

[@matthewkretschmer7010]

That's Zoboomafoo.

[@michaelkrynski7793]

Zaboomafoo was awesome!

[@capybaraswacreatures1428]

Sì

[@gustyko8668]

We'll forever miss you, Zoboomafoo!!! 😢❤

[@Nina-ig2gv]

They’re so cute when they’re bouncing around.

[@davidcabreonmunoz6258]

Eat them is even better.

[@abbycon0117]

It's amazing just how big yet accurate their jumps are in the air, just one of the reasons why I love Lemurs so much!

[@sholabolaji2975]

They are the only species of lemurs who does the most leaping

David Attenborough, you're my special. Thank you for the great work. Much love from Uganda. God keep you safe.

[@carlissaneumann8133]

That's definitely a zaboomafoo

[@mew9428]

Never. Skip. Leg. Day.

[@Nawyria]

I sometimes dream that I'm able to jump incredible distances, hopping from buildings to buildings, from trees to trees; sometimes I am even able to fly outright. But when I reach the ground, all I can do is hop up and down furiously and ineffectually as I painstakingly inch forward. I never realized those dreams were lemur dreams.

[@alexacquaah4074]

Nawyria cool

[@tonygasper917]

Lemurs

[@theclub5739]

I’ve got a cool experience with lemurs while I was at the zoo The lemurs let me touch the tail and when I went under them They screamed to everybody as if they were trying to protect me like I’m King Julian or Something

[@davisurdaneta1426]

Whoa! Same here! When i was a kid i had similar dreams. One of those dreams i was chased by zombies until i can't find heigts then i was hopping between trees then end up on a young bamboo that was bending. I was so scared because the zombies could reach my feet. I shared bed with my older brother. One night he woke me up with a slap, apparently i was kicking him hard. So weird. 🙄

[@Weirdkauz]

Maybe you are an artist at heart - that would be the leaps and bounces - but working some mundane job…

They're known as "foosa" in Madagascar movie..."Foosa oo...foosa aah"

[@yellowfolder]

Because it doesn't say in the description, these animals are "Sifaka", which are a type of lemur.

[@hiddengems9022]

yellowfolder thank you

[@jerrycoleby-williams2579]

Attenborough clearly states the name which is all that matters - just listen to the commentary.

[@yangranay8102]

@@jerrycoleby-williams2579 Yes, he mentioned it clearly: "a young SIFAKA is able to negotiate the spines".... and so on. However, they both, Sifaka and Fosa, are mispronounced. Don't worry! I've been leaving in Madagascar since my birth, those animals are from here, You can check them out, at Antananarivo Zoological Park.
