A lemur uses his stinky tail to tell a camera to beware

Tugger the ring-tailed lemur inspects a video camera in his enclosure at the Duke Lemur Center in Durham, North Carolina. If you look closely at Tugger’s tail, you will spot him flicking it towards the camera. Ring-tailed lemur males rub their tails with smelly secretions and waft them at opponents to tell potential rivals to back off. A new study finds that males combine secretions from different scent glands on their bodies to create richer, longer-lasting scents. Read more: today.duke.edu/...

The little noise they make it's so cute

It's hilarious when the ears go back, the tail comes forward and they make noises like an alien. So cute, but the concern is real for them. #lemurobsessed
