## Caption

This is Thrax, aka Thra-XX, aka the most interesting sifaka in the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Malagasy culture, sifakas are often viewed as “sacred sun worshippers.” This traditional view likely stems from the animals’ curious habit of basking in the early morning sun before heading out to forage for food. S/O to keeper Yeleny Smith for the fun photos. #leapinglemurs #sunworshipper #californianas #sandiegozoo #themostinterestinglemurintheworld
