Wondered about them. Had trouble at the Duke sites/blogs where the info is. Again--PBS has the answers. I read an on-line article in a newspaper close to Duke LemurCenter- and cried when I read about Titus. Thanks againfor the info. THat update special--great idea!! I thought the cross representation of species was superb--but all who watched are curios about each and every one of the animals showcased. Thanks again.

How do you kepp your emotions in check while filming these documentaries? Or do your emotions actually keep you driven? I know the vast array of emotions I experience just watching these films. What a blessing- to be able to be right there with these wonderous creatures. What a gift you have-and thank God you share it with people like me.

Loved the summing up. Not shown letterbox here, so missed some of it. The animal "roll" at the end, though, included several species not covered - and a couple not endangered. That might confuse viewers some. But again, very cool. It would be interesting to see a follow-up in a few years. Nice show. Loved the summing up. Not shown letterbox here, so missed some of it.

Two weeks later she laid a few eggs and I am wondering if they were indeed fertile. I have quite a few pictures and one of my students (I am a HS teacher and took students there for two weeks in July 2008.) has the event on film. We certainly were hoping for a babe or two!
