For #WorldLemurDay, Centre ValBio organized a trip for Nature Center students to visit Studio oloNala! The students were excited to see the same wildlife they draw in their own sketchbooks reflected on the walls, and gathered inspiration from their own walk through Ranomafana National Park! 🔍🌳

#FunFactFriday: Ring-tailed lemurs are flexible foragers! 🍃 Their diet includes fruit, leaves, bark, flowers, sap—and sometimes insects. Since food in their forests can be scarce, they often travel on the ground to find their next bite. #Lemurs #Wildlife

Fantastic to see all the creativity & joy in celebrating these unique species. This year's theme is „Iray ho an'ny varika ho fitsinjovana ny ho avy" - Uniting for the lemurs, to care for the future 💚
That’s great advice!

🌳 Happy #WorldLemurDay!
Lemurs live only in Madagascar & all species are endangered. They help forests grow but face habitat loss, hunting & the pet trade.

Cropped image from a book, showing an engraving of a lemur climbing a branch, with a wooded landscape in the background. It has turned its head to look behind itself and, from a human perspective, it appears to have a worried expression on its face. The caption underneath reads: 'Propithece, or Diadem Lemur. - Propithecus Diadema'.
Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the lemurs, for today is their special day!
To celebrate World Lemur Day, here is an engraving of a lemur - a diademed sifaka - from 'The Illustrated Natural History' (1863) by J. G. Wood.

Albert, our black-and-white ruffed lemur, is going bananas for #WorldLemurDay! These endangered lemurs inhabit the rainforests of Madagascar and primarily feed on fruit, as well as nectar, flowers, and leaves. Their fruit-heavy diet makes them important seed spreaders, helping the forest grow!

We are just days away from #WorldLemurDay, meet the fat-tailed dwarf lemur! This tiny nocturnal lemur spends its nights foraging alone, but by day it curls up to sleep in a cozy tree hole—sometimes with friends, sometimes solo.
