Gretchen joined us as we went to the Duke Lemur House this morning. We've been talking about going for years and there was a Living Social Deal that I grabbed that finally got us in the door! It was a gorgeous day to wander the grounds. The Lemur Center is a research facility and is also involved in the conservation of lemurs in Madagascar and works jointly with several organizations in their conservation and education efforts. Just a few of their Lemurs below. We had a great time on the tour and highly recommend it - especially for the grandkids!! They also use volunteers! Visit their website at http://lemur.duke.edu/ for more information.
Not easy to get good pictures when they're behind bars.
These guys were in the nocturnal house.
