We Like To Move It! Move It!
In reality though, it's a case of "Strictly Run Dancing" for these Sifaka lemurs. These 'dance' moves--springing on their hind legs and raising their arms for balance--are used by these animals to travel around in the Ifotaka forest of Madagascar, Africa. It's the quickest way for them to avoid predators and reach their foraging grounds.
The Sifaka's name comes from their distinctive call that sounds like 'shafik'.
The Sifaka lemurs live throughout the forests of Madagascar and are unique to the island. They are highly social and live in troops of up to 40 individuals, but are threatened by increased human encroachment into their feeding grounds.
These photos were taken by British wildlife photographers and brothers, Matt and Will Burrar-Lucas.
