After weeks of feasting, the fat-tailed dwarf lemurs of the @DukeLemurCenter have settled into their low-energy winter state
�During this season, dwarf lemurs’ body temperature drops to slightly above ambient temperature, their heart rate drops to 8 beats per minute and their brain activity is imperceptible as they survive on the energy stored in their fat-filled tails.
Understanding this annual hibernation is one of many non-invasive research projects at the DLC
