  • - [Voiceover] This is Bertha.

  • She's a lemur, more specifically, a coquerel's sifaka.

  • While all of Madagascar lemurs are rare,

  • she's unique even for her kind.

  • There are over 100 different types of lemurs in Madagascar.

  • But none quite like the coquerel's sifaka.

  • Found only in the Northwestern Forest of Madagascar,

  • sifakas move differently than most lemurs.

  • They stand on two feet and use their powerful hind legs

  • to leap up to 30 feet in a single jump.

  • Their beautiful fur also distinguishes them.

  • Their cream colored bodies feature maroon patches.

  • Bertha loves her peanuts but sifakas aren't picky eaters.

  • They consume everything from leaves and flowers

  • to bark and dead wood.

  • Biologists estimate that less than 10,000 remain in the wild

  • as major habitat laws and hunting continues to increase.

  • This is the coquerel's sifaka.
