Our first eastern mouse lemur!

We captured our first mouse lemur on the east coast—a strapping young lad we named “Tokana,” or “the only one,” in Malagasy. We caught him after a full moon night, which may affect how active the mouse lemurs are.

A little pessimistic, eh Meredith? What's Malagasy for "the beginning"?

Congratulations,
Hope many more come out on the waning moon.

Hey Meredith! I got a little behind on reading your blog, but I'm all caught up now and glad that the research seems to be going well for you. The eastern mouse lemur catch must have been very exciting!
