The word sifaka describes the sound that this kind of
lemur makes to warn its group members of coming
predators. Coquerel's sifaka was named after the French
entomologist Charles Coquerel. It was often taken as a
subspecies of the Verreaux’s Sifaka.
Its head, back, and tail are white, with brown patches on
the chest, upper limbs, and thighs. It has a black face,
black ears, with yellowish eyes. The bottom of the
lemur's hands and feet are black.

3. This species is native to the dry deciduous forests in the
northwestern part and coastal regions of Madagascar.
Because of habitat destruction and massive hunting,
Coquerel’s Sifaka is enlisted as a critically endangered
species in the IUCN Red List.
Slash and burn agriculture, charcoal production, and
deforestation have caused habitat destruction, making the
Coquerel’s Sifaka critically endangered. Thus, it can be
only spotted in the Bora Special Reserve and in
Ankarafantsika National Park, protected areas in
Madagascar.
Coquerel’s Sifaka feeds mainly on leaves and flowers,
but it also feeds on tree bark and dead wood.
