Indri lemurs primarily consume a diet consisting of leaves, fruits, flowers, and seeds. They are particularly fond of the leaves of various trees, especially those of the endemic tree species in their native Madagascar. Their foraging habits can vary based on seasonal availability, but they generally prefer young, tender leaves for optimal nutrition. Overall, their diet reflects their role as folivores in their ecosystem.
