Egeria is going to town on the lettuce! I am sure she enjoyed it from her adorable looks and sounds. Favorite of day!

Oh my goodness that's too stinking adorable.

The lettuce never had a chance with Egeria in charge.

Bon Dalyane Deblois je suis désolé mais je risque de te tagger régulièrement prochainement 🤪🥰

Everybody needs a little bit of Nedjem in their life! 😎

All of our crowned lemurs born here at the DLC get their names from Egyptian history and mythology. Nedjem shares his name with the first known cat in history to be given a name, as well as the son of Pharaoh Amenhotep II. His name translates to "sweet" or "pleasant," which is just perfect for this sweet lil guy! 💜

Egeria entering her backpack era 🎒

Baby Coquerel's sifakas start out clinging to mom's stomach, a stage our animal caretakers affectionately call the "fanny pack stage." When they grow bigger and stronger, they start riding mom backpack-style, which makes for adorable moments like this! After Rodelinda hops away to the outdoor half of her enclosure, dad Johann is quick to follow his girls 🥰

An outstanding video from Scientific American, featuring DLC conservationist and researcher Dr. James Herrera 🌿

Believe it or not, James and other researchers want to save (most of) the world's parasites, not kill them. Why? Because wildlife parasites help keep ecosystems balanced.

💗 It's a girl! 💗

On January 6, 2023, Coquerel's sifakas Rodelinda (an experienced mom) and Johann (a first-time dad) welcomed baby Egeria to the Duke Lemur Center family 🎉

Egeria's name is extra special: it was chosen by the Cooke Family, longtime supporters of the DLC's SAVA conservation program, who won the naming privilege in our annual online auction. The quest for the perfect name was a fun family endeavor, and the Cookes eventually landed on Egeria, who was the consort of Roman king Numa and was rumored to be a nymph 🧚‍♀️

Mother "nose" best! 💞

Not pictured: Binx (left) trying to steal mom Fady's nut immediately after this sweet moment 😂 As one of the most intelligent lemur species, baby aye-ayes have a lot to learn from mom, like how to forage for tasty treats with their special tapping finger. Sometimes babies will steal food right out of mom's mouth! 🌰

It was an excellent game! So proud of the team. The lemurs and their staff make a great team too! Go Duke!!!

Love the t-shirt where can i get one?

Love the shirt! Are they for sale in the bookstore?

I really hope we see more lemur basketball content during the tournament!

I know that is a lemur but he reminds me of Hashtag the Panda on the Tonight Show

Leaping Lemurs!!! Blessèd be the Orange Orb. There is One Coach and his name is Coach K and Jon Scheyer is his disciple. Woe to the unbelievers — especially Tar Heel fans . . . LET'S GO DEVILS!!!
