<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p>The Indriid family contains three genera that vary primarily in body size and activity pattern. The three genera are: <em>Avahi</em>, <em>Propithecus</em> and, <em>Indri</em>. <em>Avahi</em>
is the only nocturnal indriid, and it is also the smallest-bodied. All
have a reduced dental formula, with only four teeth in their tooth comb
and one less premolar in each quadrant. Indriids are known for their
specialized leaping abilities. They have long hindlimbs, and a short,
dorsally oriented ischium.</p>
