Ever since I was young, I was fascinated with lemurs and years ago learned about the Duke University Primate Center (as it was then called).  The facility was founded in 1966 on the campus of Duke University in Durham, NC. As they state on their website,  "the Duke Lemur Center (DLC) is a world leader in the study, care, and protection of lemurs—Earth’s most threatened group of mammals.  With more than 200 animals across 14 species, the DLC houses the world’s most diverse population of lemurs outside their native Madagascar.
