What does INDRI mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large, short-tailed lemur native to the rainforests of Madagascar, known for its loud, wailing call and upright leaping.
The indri is the largest living lemur species and, unlike most of its relatives, has only a stub of a tail rather than a long, bushy one. Groups of indri communicate across the forest canopy with a distinctive wailing song that can carry for more than a kilometer, a sound that has earned them the local Malagasy name babakoto. Because they move by leaping upright from trunk to trunk rather than walking on all fours, indri rarely descend to the forest floor.
