Another name for the indri, a large black and white lemur from Madagascar known for its loud wailing calls and nearly vertical posture.
From Malagasy language; 'babakoto' is one of several indigenous names for this distinctive lemur. The scientific name Indri indri comes from Malagasy 'indri,' possibly meaning 'look there!' or 'behold!'
The indri has one of the most haunting calls in nature—a loud, wailing song that echoes through Madagascan rainforests and can be heard up to a mile away, making it impossible to miss if you're lucky enough to hear it.
