If you’ve ever been curious about how we train the lemurs to voluntarily come back in from their natural habitat enclosures (NHEs), then check out this video! Technician Melanie Currie calls to Coquerel’s sifaka mother/daughter duo Pompeia and Francesca using their auditory cue (two short whistle bursts), and a little extra verbal encouragement for fun "Come on, Pom Pom!" Pompeia and Francesca leap right into a self-contained fenced area within the larger NHE, to enjoy their meal. To provide an

Have you ever wondered what a lemur sounds like? If so, then this video -- which is chock full of shrieks, grunts, barks, eeps, and trills -- is for you! 😃 Lemurs communicate using scent, sight, and sound. Each species has its own "vocabulary" of vocalizations, which may be used to alert fellow group members when predators are near, to warn competitors to stay away, or to communicate with group members who might be far away in the forest. Big thanks to Will Goodwin, our 2019 Communications Inte

Ruby’s infant is getting very comfortable hanging upside down 🙃 Red ruffed lemurs, like many species, spend lots of time hanging from their back feet while foraging. This frees up their hands to pull branches with tasty leaves and fruit right to their mouths! At two months old, Ruby’s infant has proportionally large hands and feet so that he can grip onto branches, but his body will eventually grow to match. Ruby’s infant is almost ready for his first adventure in the forest, so fresh-cut branc

A big THANK YOU to the generous donors who sent us trail cameras from our amazon wishlist in July! The cameras are extremely valuable for giving us snapshots of the behavior of our free-ranging lemurs when they are not being observed by our staff or researchers, and we are THRILLED to have some of our own! THANK YOU Michayla, Stjepan, Jane, Geoffrey, Teresa, and Tonya! https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/373AW0NFW38GY/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1 | Duke Lemur Center

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the Duke Lemur Center! ☘️🌈 Our lemurs are joining the fun with some holiday enrichment! Watch black and white ruffed lemurs forage for dried fruit in a pot of gold while Coquerel’s sifakas and crowned lemurs enjoy shamrock cookies made out of primate chow, banana, and peanut butter! Enrichment is fun to watch, but it also helps keep the lemurs healthy by giving them new things to explore and try. Have questions? You can Ask an Expert in a private Zoom call with Enri

Babies’ first free ranging! 💚Youngsters Arcadius and Cirilla both had their first experiences in one of our natural habitat enclosures this week! Coquerel’s sifaka Arcadius is six months old and lives with mom Gisela, dad Rupert, and big brother Silas, all of whom are experienced free-rangers. Ring-tailed lemur Cirilla, who turns one year old this Saturday, has an equally experienced troop to learn from, consisting of mom Alena, dad Stewart, and big brothers Atticus, Mr. Popper, and Jasper.

Stink alert! 🚨 Male ring-tailed lemurs will stink fight with one another, coating their tails in secretions from the scent glands on their wrists and chests and flicking their tails towards opposing males. Stink fights can be territorial displays, disputes over mates, or another form of play fighting amongst brothers. Here, Seagrams seems very committed to flicking his stink at his twin brother, but Schweppes remains unperturbed! 💨 🎥: Abby Flyer | Duke Lemur Center
