indri

The indri (; ''Indri indri''), also called the babakoto, is one of the largest living lemurs. It is a diurnal tree-dweller related to the sifakas and, like all lemurs, it is native to Madagascar.
== Etymology ==
The name "indri" most likely comes from a native Malagasy name for the animal, ''endrina''. An oft-repeated, but probably incorrect story is that the name comes from ''indry'' (:ˈiɳɖʐʲ), meaning "there" or "there it is."
French naturalist Pierre Sonnerat, who first described the animal, supposedly heard a Malagasy point out the animal and took the word to be its name.〔 The Malagasy name for the animal is ' (:bəbəˈkut). ''Babakoto'' is most commonly translated as "ancestor" or "father", but several translations are possible. "Koto" is a Malagasy word for "little boy",〔Parker, Philip M. (“Malagasy English Dictionary.” ) 2007. Webster’s Online Dictionary.〕 and "baba" is a term for "father", so the word "babakoto" may be translated as "father of a little boy." The father-son dynamic of many of the babakoto origin myths helps to explain the Malagasy name.
