John from the Discovery and Learning Team at Dublin Zoo is back on Home School Hub to tell us all about Lemurs.
They are native of Madagascar and we are going to meet two types here. They are the Ring-Tailed Lemur and the Red-Ruffed Lemur.
It s time to learn a lot more about them and talk about what makes these two different apart from how they look. Then you can make your own fun Lemur mask, but first you have to pick which one you like best.
predator tastes it will immediately jump away. megyn: she has to do something to protect them while she is gone getting them food. it s cheaper than a baby sitter. megyn: i lied, i can t relate to that. good for you, that is an excellent system you worked out there. you say this is endangered. they have been popularized in japan and for their medicine. we need to protect these guys. megyn: and next we are joined by a lemur. it s only found in madagascar. it s a ring-tailed lemur. this is mogley. megyn: this doesn t freak you out at all? no. i spent a lot of time with these guys in the wild. i love the retails because they are female dominant.
and with 24,000 creatures, the henry doorly zoo in omaha is always coping with sick animals. like rhea, a 6-year-old ring-tailed lemur with diabetes. she needs medication every single day and getting her to take it is no easy task. primates are very very good at picking out their medicine no matter what you put it in. they will pick that item out. and often spit them at you. reporter: combine that with the fact that hundreds of different animals need treatment from different drugs every day and you have another problem. finding the right dosage. obviously these human medications weren t designed for a 5 1/2 pound patient. reporter: that s when zoos turn to drug compounders, pharmacies that mix medications to fit a patient s need. they can find the right dosage of a human drug for rhea and make a bitter medicine taste like a treat. a request justin kohll fills every day. we have to figure out what they like and what they re eating. birds like fruit flavored. dogs like any kind
