"Woolly indris" is a less common name for lemurs in the genus *Avahi*, also known as woolly lemurs. These small, nocturnal lemurs are found only in Madagascar. They are known for their soft, dense fur, giving them a woolly appearance. These arboreal lemurs primarily eat leaves. They live in small family groups.
The term "woolly" describes the soft, dense fur characteristic of these lemurs. "Indris" is a slight misnomer, as they are more closely related to sifakas. This name likely arose from early classifications before genetic distinctions were fully understood. Despite the name, they are distinct from the true indri lemur.
Imagine a 'Stranger Things' episode set in the rainforests of Madagascar. A group of teens discovers a portal to another dimension, and it's impacting the behavior of the Woolly Indris. The Indris are acting strangely due to the portal's energy. The teens must close the portal to save the Woolly Indris and the forest. It combines supernatural themes with natural settings.
