Sifakas are the most arboreal of all the lemurs. When a sifaka has to travel on the ground, they can't do four-legged walking because their legs are too long and their arms are too short; they can't do two-legged walking because their legs are made for jumping and hanging around in the trees; so they hop and bounce along in the most fun and endearing fashion, which is just another reason why sifakas are the best of all the lemurs.

Sifakas are awesome!! And I dig your inclusion of lemur facts with this photo! B)
(I dunno if I'd consider sifakas the "MOST" arboreal, though... Virtually all sifaka species come to the ground at some time, either to cross empty areas or to simply play on the ground. Bit I don't think Avahis or Sportive Lemurs have EVER been observed on the ground!)

Oh yes, of course!
And, yeah, I think it's hard to say! Haha! It seems like the more arboreal species are also the least studied. ):
But, still, I'm pretty sure sifakas go to the ground more than any other Indridae. Some Sifakas (such as the Milne-Edwards Sifaka) actually come to the ground so often in parts of the forest that they've trampled down the plants to make big, flat "playgrounds" to roll and wrestle around in! Just MORE PROOF that sifakas are some of the best lemurs!!
