illuminating science

Just a quick post, saying I’m successfully back from a really enjoyable week at camp, and with a rather old but very cool story - lemurs, those wonderful creatures from Madagascar (the movie or the place, take your pick) are actually a lot more intelligent than they might appear - even if they’re primarily motivated by food. Through computer games, the lemurs are able to count and remember sequences. Some will even finish another lemur’s sequence if it means they’ll get the treat instead!

Now, if they can just teach them to sing as well as in the movie, lemurs will be ready for their move to prime time!
