“My first job was actually as a social worker. And then later, I got my PhD in anthropology. And I've always been interested in humans as well as primates. We are all kind of have the same emotions, the same goals and lives really. But to me, when I first got to Madagascar I realized that the lemurs lives are very closely related to what the humans are doing; partially because they've got both looking for natural resources. And if we can make some way that both humans and lemurs can live together peaceably and happily, that would be my goal for Madagascar.” IfsWayFirstsHumansWellsKindWould BeTogetherJobsSocialGoalNaturalEmotionResourcesWorkersI RealizedAll KindsRelatedAnthropologyNatural ResourcesSocial WorkerPrimatesGoals And LifePhdsMadagascarLemurs Author:Patricia Wright
“The black and white lemur, the one that relaxes on that branch, they actually have day care, like kindergartens; where all the mothers come together and they put all the babies into this one nest and they let dad watch it while they go out and have food and have a good time and then they come back in a few hours. We've never seen that in other primates.” CareTogetherMotherBlackHoursWhiteWatchesBabyDadBranchesRelaxGood TimesBlack And WhiteNestsHaving A Good TimeKindergartenPrimatesDay Care Author:Patricia Wright
