Raising Cute Baby Lemurs to Save a Species | National Geographic

[@CHAS1422]

Great that modern biologists look after these last holdouts of an evolutionary line close to our own. These scientists are heroes

[@cboyles84]

Ridiculously cute little buggers

[@ftenzer]

Lemurs are cute.

[@Pmjs]

Every Lemur beautiful adorable and precious.

[@thebushempress]

One of the biggest threats to lemurs is habitat loss from coal mining. Just another reason to get off fossil fuels. I'm lucky enough to get to work with ring tail lemurs sometimes. It would truly be a shame to lose such a unique primate with such personality and cuteness.

[@konstantinosfasouletos7773]

The biggest issue is non-Europeans having 5-10 kids per family, encroaching on all habitats and consuming everything. How about forced sterilization after 3 kids, by government agencies? I mean here in the USA the cost of taxing everything makes families less likely to have more than 2-3 kids. The 3rd World menace is a biggest threat to biodiversity than anything this planet has ever seen. Imagine, one species responsible for planetary extinction of the rest of 99% of species.

[@victorvera1494]

Konstantinos Fasouletos forced sterilization?? Are you related to Hitler out just plain stupid?

[@konstantinosfasouletos7773]

Victor Vera Why ? China does it and its just dandy with all the progressives. I dont hear anyone complaining or talking about Chinese Privilege and the need to flood their country with non-Chinese.

[@konstantinosfasouletos7773]

Victor Vera Even in the USA we are told that abortion is a right, a health issue lolol !!! Please please, abort yourselves and then perhaps the Planet will be safer !

[@IndriidaeNT]

I love lemurs, my family and I visited the Duke Lemur Center before. My favorite lemurs living there are the ring-tailed lemurs, Coquerel's sifaka lemurs, ruffed lemurs, blue-eyed black lemurs, aye-ayes, mouse lemurs and fat-tailed dwarf lemurs.

[@alainviollet2822]

I live in Madagascar, if you need help I'm here

[@ShadowCastPro]

How is it there? Are the reports of forest destruction as bad as they say?

[@alainviollet2822]

ShadowCastPro Unfortunately yes, the Malagasy population only cooking charcoal (even in the capital) where the rapid destruction of forests.

[@ShadowCastPro]

Alain Viollet awww, it makes me sad that I can't directly help at all as I live in the UK and everywhere with a forest etc. is protected.

[@653j521]

There are volunteer groups that help plant trees and do other things for lemurs. Perfect for a gap year? Funding for these groups and others is always welcome.

[@lydiapetra1211]

@@alainviollet2822 seriously?That's so sad....so the lemurs loose their habitat. How friendly are the lemurs with the locals?

[@Empr4evr]

Why don't they try to move lemurs into Borneo or the Amazon if they want them to live so much? Fact is species of animals that evolve to live in a certain climate or niche are usually the first to go extinct. Lemurs were only able exist on Madagascar, that alone makes them an endangered animal.

[@notnormalyet]

You can't just drop animals into different ecosystems. Look at what the introduction of birds and pigs did to Hawaii. It would just cause another species to be threatened.

[@simonj3413]

notnormalyet plus, the rate of deforestation in Borneo is just as big, if not greater than in Madagascar
