Lemurs’ ability to digest leafy diets relies on a complex system of gut microorganisms. Scientists at the Duke Lemur Center hope to better understand how these gut bacteria can keep lemurs healthy, or — when they’re out of balance — make them sick duke.is/rhffy

miniPCR bio Duke Lemur Center Dr. Tara Clarke Elaine Guevara Keeping a lemur as a pet is harmful for both people and the lemur. Lemurs need other lemurs, and are very hard to care for properly. Lemurs become aggressive as they reach maturity and can become harmful to their owners. Learn more from Duke Lemur Center: lemur.duke.edu/about/not-a-pe…

THE LEMURS NEED YOUR HELP! We partnered with Duke Lemur Center to create a short spot urging you to adopt a lemur! (not actually adopt, just give $$). The spot is directed by Parker Simmons & endorsed by/starring the legend John Cleese. More info below! lemur.duke.edu/cleese/
