day ninety-five - sifaka

they have a cool and exotic name, they cling to impossibly narrow, rocky pinnacles, they look awesome and they apparently whisper their own name as they go about their business (still not sure if this is true). they are sifakas:

although i only drew one. a fat one at that. he's pretty cute, but not nearly as amazing as they look in real life. hmm poor choice jemma, for that merely highlights how saggy YOUR sifaka's cheeks are.

it's a jemma sifaka...

they are truly beautiful animals, and quite majestic looking - that is until you see them in motion (or even a still of them in motion). giggle. animals be funny.
