AVAHI

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 51 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AVAHI , the native name of a Malagasy lemur (Avahis laniger) nearly allied to the
indri
  (q.v.), and the smallest representative of the subfamily Indrisinae, characterized by its woolly coat, and measuring about 28 in. in length, of which rather more than half is accounted for by the tail. Unlike the other members of the group, the avahi is nocturnal, and does not associate in small troops, but is met with either alone or in pairs. Very slow in its movements, it rarely descends to the ground, but, when it does, walks upright like the other members of the group. It is found throughout the forests which clothe the mountains on the
east
 
coast
  of Madagascar, and also in a limited
district
  on the north-west
coast
 , the specimens from the latter locality being of smaller size and rather different in colour. The eastern phase is generally rusty red above, with the inner sides of the limbs
white
 ; while the predominant hue in the western form is usually yellowish
brown
 . (See PRIMATES.) (R. L.*)
