Summary

Description

Coquerel's Sifaka (Propithecus coquereli)

Original caption: Propithecus Verreauxi, var. Coquerelii (A. Milne Edwards), tué à Ambodifiakarana, auprès de la baie de Bombétok (côte N.O. de Madagascar), au tiers de la grandeur naturelle. Sa queue est représentée enroulée sur elle-même en spirale, comme la mettent d’ordinaire tous les Propithèques lorsqu’ils sont assis. L’arbre sur lequel il se tient est un de ces baobabs si communs dans les plaines jurassiques de l’Ouest de Madagascar.

English Translation (partial): Propithecus Verreauxi, subspecies Coquerelii (A. Milne Edwards), killed on Ambodifiakarana, near Bombétok bay (coast N.O. of Madagascar)... Its tail is represented rolled up on itself in spiral, as Propithecus species usually do when they sit. It sits in a baobab tree, which is common in the Jurassic plains of the West of Madagascar.
