The mission of the Duke University Lemur Center is to promote research and understanding of prosimians and their natural habitat as a means of advancing the frontiers of knowledge; to contribute to the educational development of future leaders in international scholarship and conservation; and to enhance the human condition by stimulating intellectual growth and sustaining global biodiversity. The Lemur Center, the only university-based facility in the world devoted to the study of prosimian primates, is home to the world's largest colony of endangered primates, including more than 250 lemurs, bush babies and lorises. More than 85 percent of the center's inhabitants were born on site. In 1997, the center began a program to reintroduce black and white ruffed lemurs to Madagascar, the first return of any prosimian primates to the island nation. Superfamilies and Families Cheirogaleoidea Cheirogaleidae Lemuroidea Lemuridae Lepilemuridae Indriidae Lemurs are part of a class of primates known as prosimians, and make up the infraorder Lemuriformes. ...
