| 词汇 | indri |
| 词源 | indri. The little short-tailed lemur of Madagascar was so named a century ago when a French naturalist and his Mada- gascan guide were identifying animals in the jungle. The guide saw a lemur and cried “Indry! Indry!” This actually meant “Look! Look!,” but the naturalist recorded it as the animal’s na- tive name and the lemur has been called the indri (Indri indri) ever since. See also kangaroo. |
