Loving it...


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!
