Arrived at Duke Lemur Center

I am finally at DLC and settled in. Yesterday was my first day of work helping Joe (a Duke Ph.D. student) with his research. The center is huge and there are so many lemurs of over 20 species. We are studying various male/female pairs including ring-tailed lemurs, mongoose lemurs, crowned lemurs, collared lemurs, and red-bellied lemurs. There is lots to learn in terms of his research methods and protocol and I think I'm going to have an awesome summer!

She's one of my favorites!
