Honolulu Zoo: When you go to any zoo, don't miss the lemurs. Just look at their hands: those long, grasping fingers and that opposable thumb. Eerily human by my standards! In fact,
homo sapiens and the lemurs share a common ancestor, Ida, whose fossilized remains were found in a German bog a few years ago. These are ring-tailed lemurs. [2011]
