Actually, they are listed. These are Coquerel's Sifaka (Propithecus coquereli).
The zoos that currently have them according to ISIS are:
Maryland Zoo (3.0)
Duke Lemur Center (14.9)
Houston Zoo (2.1)
Los Angeles Zoo (2.1)
Bronx Zoo (2.1)
Philadelphia Zoo (3.1)
Sacramento Zoo (1.1)
St. Louis Zoo (4.3)

Thanks matey, l missed the Coquerels part of the name.

14.9 is obviously not enough for a captive population!!! So more to come from the wild. Or will "they" let the population die out in captivity.

No, I think he meant that 14.9 are a lot of sifakas for only one facility, as the Duke Lemur Center does.
