<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p><em>Avahi</em>, the woolly lemur, is found in the wet forests of eastern Madagascar. Two species are recognized: <em>Avahi laniger</em> and <em>Avahi occidentalis</em>. They are the smallest-bodied and only nocturnal indriid, and also more quadrupedal than either <em>Propithecus</em> or <em>Indri</em>. They do, however, leap between supports as well. They live in family groups, and are monogamous.</p>
