So this isn’t the most scientific of posts, but last Thursday at the Lemur Center I had some free time and managed to snap some photos of our irresistibly cute test subjects and their neighbors:
This is a red-ruffed lemur. On his hand you can see nails, an ancestral primate trait. Except for a grooming claw on their second digits, lemurs, like humans, have nails instead of claws.
This is Quinn, a blue-eyed black lemur (My favorite species).
Here's Aristides, a ringtail.
Hebe, a black and white ruffed lemur.
Romeo, a diademed sifaka.
Here are some photos of Camila and I with L'amour and Quinn, a pair of blue-eyed black lemurs, Eulemur macaco flavifrons. Female E. m. flavifrons are actually reddish-blonde in color.
