   Smith, 1833. A sifaka ( / sɪˈfɑːkə /; Malagasy pronunciation: [ˈsifakə̥] ⓘ) is a lemur of the genus Propithecus from the family Indriidae within the order Primates. The name of their family is an onomatopoeia of their characteristic "shi-fak" alarm call. [4] Like all lemurs, they are found only on the island of Madagascar.
