I have Lemurcon pictures from last year on this site. Enjoy.
Joćo has his Lemurcon archive pages back; the whole thing got wiped out in early 2001 at the UNDP site. Vance got back much of it too. No images however. Email Vance about the 2001 Lemurcon, which was held September 21-23, or 2002, which was the same weekend a year later. Dr. Glander was around and will forever be around for us. 2003 will likely be no different; you will enjoy frolicking with our prosimian cousins. You will buy many items from the gift shop. You will enjoy watching that video of Alan Alda being amazed that an aye-aye can find grubs in a block of wood. Lemurcon 2003 does not have a date set yet, though it will likely be the third or fourth September weekend! |
I have to put Faustina front and center-right. She was our "baby," I
guess. Faustina is the little one holding on to her mother, Paulina. Since we first adopted, we've been, um,
reassigned to Nero, who's a little evil one, kind of like one of our cats. He doesn't play well with others
and so is normally kept solitary, though outdoors. We don't get to visit inside his cage at Lemurcon, which
kind of sucks.
This photo was taken by David Haring for the Duke Primate Center.

 Okay, this one is Romeo, the only Diademed
Sifaka in captivity. He's hopefully getting a mate sometime soon, when Dr. Glander wanders
into the forests of Madagascar to capture a female. Before you scream how unfair that is,
consider that most lemur species are threatened if not outright endangered, due to the
removal, by humans, of their entire ecosystem. |
 This is your average red-crowned
lemur. Fun guys, very inquisitive. They are doing quite well in captivity, and will be
spread around to different universities and research institutions (while a smaller number
will be kept at the Primate Center).

Here's a Coquerel's sifaka. While Faustina, our baby, is about a year
old, this guy (probably Jovian), is several years older and just enjoys hanging out in the
heat this particular Saturday afternoon in May.  |
