coquerelii

Coquerelii refers to a scientific name, often used in biological classification. It is most famously associated with Coquerel's sifaka, a species of lemur native to Madagascar. The scientific name for this particular sifaka is *Propithecus coquereli*. This primate is known for its distinctive white fur, reddish-brown crown, and long tail. They are diurnal and primarily arboreal, spending most of their time in trees. Their diet consists mainly of leaves, fruits, and flowers. Coquerel's sifakas are critically endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. The species was named in honor of the French naturalist Alfred Coquerel. Beyond the sifaka, "coquerelii" may appear as a specific epithet for other organisms, indicating a scientific discovery or description related to someone or something named Coquerel. For example, a species of snake or insect could be named *genus coquerelii* if it was first identified by or is particularly associated with this name. Without further context, it is most commonly understood to refer to *Propithecus coquereli*.
