Indris really said "I'm a soprano, actually." New research found that indri lemurs open their mouths wider to hit higher notes in their songs, the same technique trained opera singers use to project sound. www.bbc.com/news/article...

What does this red-fronted lemur want to say? Perhaps one of these documented calls: an "ohn," a nasal sound that helps keep the group together; a "cree," a high-pitched call used to mark territory; or a "crou," an alarm call that warns other lemurs of danger. #FunFactFriday 📷: Lynne Venart
