The Duke Lemur Center is located on 80 wooded acres in Duke Forest, approximately two miles from Duke University's main campus. During the warm months of the year (typically midApril to midOctober), a large number of our lemurs get to freerange in large tracts of forest, called Natural Habitat Enclosures (NHEs).

In the NHEs, lemurs freerange outdoors (while retaining access to their climatecontrolled indoor enclosures as well) and live in natural social groups, giving researchers* and visitors the opportunity to observe the same behaviors, social structures, and age classes that would be observed in the wild.

In this video, we join Education Programs Manager Megan McGrath for a virtual tour of NHE #2. This just happens to be where baby Didius lives, so we guarantee you’ll want to check this video out! A subtitled version is available here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=256....
