Graduating @NCState senior Rhiannon See has had quite the unique (and adorable) internship experience this school year. 😍 🐾
As communications assistant at the @DukeLemurCenter, See takes photos and videos of lemurs for the center's social media. ➡️ ncst.at/7jjl50O0nRb

TODAY is @JohnCleese 's birthday, and TOMORROW is #WorldLemurDay! 🥳 Celebrate both by (a) watching our incredible new commercial starring John, and (b) adopting a lemur in John’s honor! Now that’s what we call a win-win! lemur.duke.edu/cleese #MontyPython #johncleese #lemur

THE LEMURS NEED YOUR HELP! We partnered with @DukeLemurCenter to create a short spot urging you to adopt a lemur! (not actually adopt, just give $$). The spot is directed by @parkerrsimmons & endorsed by/starring the legend @JohnCleese. More info below!

We humans aren't the only ones who pick our noses. This lemur has extra long fingers that let it reach into its nasal passage in search of tasty snacks: bit.ly/3N9nEYd @DukeLemurCenter @DukeU Research by @grumpyDrFabre @bertieportela @l_peckre et al photo by David Haring

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.

Lemurs’ ability to digest leafy diets relies on a complex system of gut microorganisms. Scientists at the @dukelemurcenter 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
