Something different for a moment:

I visited the Duke Primate Center yesterday. Always amazing to see
lemurs & other prosimians... the presumed archetypal primate. Our LCA
with the lemurs was about 40 mya.
Here is a sifika first photographed by Ian Tattersall and named after
him:

A few factoids about lemurs:
The females are always dominant.
One species of lemur is known to be monogamous, the rest are not.
One species of lemur is able to switch back and forth from nocturnal
to diurnal.
One species of prosimians has venom, which it mixes with saliva for a
venomous bite. They also put this on their babies and the babies
become very stinky.
