I love it more and more here everyday. I am starting to get to know the lemurs and their personalities better and better... it's such an incredible experience. The people at DLC are awesome and I love working with them. I am learning so much about lemurs, animal behavior, data collection, experiment design, and so much more!

This is Paco...SO happy about his kale snack. |
Today I spent the morning with Geb and Nefertari, my favorite lemur couple! They are a pair of crowned lemurs (Eulemur coronatus) and live in one of the natural habitat enclosures with a group of sifakas.

Nefertari... could she be any cuter?! |
I'm also loving exploring Durham. The farmer's market here is great and I'm soo loving living off the wonderful fruits and vegetables here :)

And of course all the other animals that are around! There are five-lined skinks (
Eumeces fasciatus) running around everywhere when it's sunny out (they are so fast though-- I finally got a picture of one!). There are also some beautiful grey foxes (
Urocyon cinereoargenteus) that hang out around my cabin. And of course the frogs!
