  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The diademed sifaka is a large lemur with a lustrous, moderately long and silky coat. There are 4 subspecies of the diademed sifaka, and the coloration is different for each one. The head and body length of the diademed sifaka is 42 - 55 cm (17 - 22") and it weighs 5 - 7.3 kg (11 - 16 lb). For the most part, the diademed sifaka inhabits primary and montane rain forest, although the Perrier's sifaka subspecies is also found in dry-deciduous forest. The predominant food sources for the diademed sifaka are leaves or seeds, although fruit, young shoots and flowers may also be eaten in season. Diets vary somewhat among the 4 subspecies.

The diademed sifaka is diurnal and mostly arboreal. Feeding takes place at all levels of the canopy. Individuals may alight on the ground to search for fallen fruit and to engage in play-fighting. Sifakas, as well as indri and woolly lemurs, have body plans that support a highly specialized mode of locomotion: vertical-clinging-and-leaping. Powerful legs, about 1/3 longer than their arms, propel them between trees while allowing them to keep an upright body posture. The diademed sifaka occurs in multi-male, multi-female groups of between 3 and 9 individuals, who occupy large, exclusive territories that are depicted by scent-markings at the boundaries. Females are the dominant sex in the group.
