On Tuesday Aaron and I spent 16 hours together driving to Atlanta and back. We were taking the male wolf to his airplane so he could flyout non-stop to his new home in Tacoma Washington. It was a long day for sure, but things went great. Aaron and I arrived back at the Museum tired but safe sometime around midnight. The wolf arrived safe and sound and was let out of his crate around 10 PM pst (1 AM Durham time). You can imagine,Read more

The end of the year (and a QUIZ too!)
Our fiscal year ends September 30th.

(Sorry Katy, you know theRead more

One of the keepers then says to me can you draw us walking out the door and going home. Below is my drawing of the three keepers heading home. Do you want to guess which three they are (in order, left to right?) (thisRead more
Match that Red Ruffed
Our Red Ruffed Lemurs are distinguishable by their tails. But can you tell them apart by their faces alone? Cynthia is our oldest lemur and our oldest mammal (not including humans) at the museum, 30 years old! Her tail is the shortest. Her two daughters Jethys and Iris are both 19 years old, Iris has the medium length tail and Jethys tail is the longest. But their faces are very similar! Can you guess correctly??? Read more
Bear Quiz # 3
Yay, I love quizzes, and I love bear quizzes, AND I love how the bears look different over the course of a year. Here’s a photo of our bears from approximately 1 month ago. Can you ID them? Click on the photo to enlarge. See other quizzes: July 2011, August 2011 (this quiz, although in August, was taken in June). Take a look and see how different the bears look over time.Read more
