This species is one of the world's largest living lemurs, with a total adult length of approximately 105 centimetres (41 inches), half of which is tail.

Notes:

Terrible photo of a really cool lemur. I went to Mantadia national park specifically to see the Diamed Sifaka and I did. I was really happy about that even though my photos of it aren't great.
