I think the cages are rather unfortunate. I know they swap them out but I would only do that if I really thought it was necessary in some way. The main problem is the confined space, but there is no point in photographing them because every picture will have cage in it. He thought there should be a couple of large panes of glass. At least where you could get a clear shot. Again, the main problem is that the animals should be in a larger area like is done in an aviary.

The Duke Lemur Center in Durham, North Carolina, is an incredible place to explore. The lemurs are captivating, and the staff's dedication to their care and conservation is evident. A must-visit for anyone interested in wildlife and education!

I visited the Duke Lemur Center with my family and got to see the adorable lemurs. My tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. We all had many questions about the lemurs, and she answered each and every one. We all learned so much about lemurs and highly recommend going to the gift shop. There are these paintings that the Lemur's created and it's amazing!

Volunteered at the Lemur center for a few hours, and got the chance to see some of the Lemurs. This place is incredible, and would recommend it to anyone interested in volunteering! The staff is extremely professional and knowledgeable.
