Secrets Of Humanity's Closest Hibernating Relative Could Pave Way For Space Flight And Surgery


Cheirogaleus medius) does hibernate in the wild. However, once in zoos
they have adopted a winter lifestyle much like the rest of us, impeding study. Now for the first time in captivity, researchers at Duke Lemur Center have persuaded some of them to shut their bodies down for winter, much as they do at home. 
Humans aside, primates tend to be creatures of the tropics. Only Japanese macaques have established themselves in places where it is cold enough for frequent snows, making for little evolutionary pressure to develop hibernation. The reverse possibility – that some innate incapacity to hibernate keeps primates tropical – was refuted by the discovery fat-tailed dwarf lemurs shut down for 3-7 months each winter. Pygmy slow lorises have also been reported to hibernate, but for less than three days, which given their normal abhorrence of moving, who can tell. ....

DURHAM, N.C. If you binged on high-calorie snacks and then spent the winter crashed on the couch in a months-long food coma, you d likely wake up worse for wear. Unless you happen to be a fat-tailed dwarf lemur.
This squirrel-sized primate lives in the forests of Madagascar, where it spends up to seven months each year mostly motionless and chilling, using the minimum energy necessary to withstand the winter. While zonked, it lives off of fat stored in its tail. ....
