Silky is a Sifaka Lemur. Can be found only in the forests of Madagascar. These primates spend most of their time in the trees, but don't get around in the same way that other lemurs do. Sifakas remain upright, and they leap quickly from tree to tree by jumping with their powerful hind legs. In this way, they clear distances of over 30 feet. They can also move quickly on the ground, which they do using a two-legged sideways hop. ref https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/group/sifakas/

Sifakas are threatened by the destruction of forests that is taking place in Madagascar.

The illegal mining for sapphires and rubiesis bringing deforestation and destruction to this area.
