The Great Birthday Escape!

On Friday, May 24, Avior, a free-ranging red ruffed lemur, celebrated his 5th birthday. As a birthday present, he decided to leave the Lemur Center for a stroll through a leafy Durham neighborhood. Avior was recovered later that afternoon when a local homeowner successfully trapped the lemur in his garage and called the Duke Lemur Center. Avior was a little scared but healthy and unharmed thankfully.
Local news WRAL covered the story in the evening news, which is available on their website wral.com/news/local/video/12483075/#/vid12483075. WRAL also got the lemur's name wrong; they called him Avion.
