Health Exams
We measure the lemurs to determine how habitat affects their growth and development. We:
- measure skin folds to assess body fat.
- make linear measurements.
- collect hair samples for genetic studies
- make dental casts of the lemur’s teeth and examine the teeth for wear patterns and for dental disease
- collect blood samples to assess nutrition and disease
- collect fecal samples to determine endo-parasites
