The Diademed Sifaka is a striking lemur found only in the forests of Madagascar. With its soft fur golden colors and graceful movements it is often called one of the most elegant of all lemurs. This stamp was released in 1988 as part of the World Wildlife Fund series which highlights endangered animals across the globe.
