It has a small range in northeastern [[Madagascar]], where it is known locally as the ''simpona''. It is one of the rarest [[mammals]] on Earth, and is listed by the [[IUCN]] as one of the world's 25 most endangered [[primates]]. The silky sifaka is one of nine species in the [[genus]] ''Propithecus''. The species is only found within a few protected areas in the [[rainforests]] of northeastern Madagascar, with most of the remaining population in [[Marojejy National Park]] and [[Anjanaharibe-Sud Reserve|Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve]]. The silky sifaka has a social structure, and lives in groups of two to nine individuals. It spends most of its day feeding and resting, and spends time to social behaviors like [[play]]ing, [[grooming]] and travelling. Females occasionally take priority over males during feeding. Like other eastern sifakas, it eats mainly leaves and seeds, but also fruit, flowers, and even soil on occasion. It is a [[seasonal breeder]] and only mates one day a year during the start of the rainy season. As with other sifaka species, non-maternal infant care is common. Group members of a
