I '''Sifaka''' ('''''Propithecus''''' [[Edward Turner Bennett|Bennett]], 1832) sono un [[genere (tassonomia)|genere]] di [[Lemuriformes|lemuri]] della [[famiglia (tassonomia)|famiglia]] degli [[Indriidae]]. Come tutti i lemuri, sono [[endemismo|endemici]] del [[Madagascar]].
==Descrizione==
Sifakas are medium sized indrids, reaching a length of 45 to 55 cm and a weight of 4 to 6 kg. Their tail is just as long as their body, which differentiates them from the [[Indri]]. Their fur is long and silky, with coloration varying by species from yellowish-white to black brown. The round, hairless face is always black.

==Abitudini==
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
A four to five month gestation period ends with the birth of a single offspring in July. The young holds fast to the mother's belly when small, but then later is carried on her back. Young are weaned after about six months and reach full maturity at the age of two to three years. The life expectancy of the sifakas is up to 18 years.
