Reply to comment by TheInternetCat in Hello, I’m Dr Sara Fontani from the University of Wolverhampton in the United Kingdom and I’m a primatologist. I’m here to talk about captive lemur’s welfare, reproduction and conservation. Please ask me anything! by UniversityofBath

In addition to lemurs, I have also worked with cotton-top tamarins during my PhD work. I loved them!

Psychology is not my field of study, but clearly humans have much in common with other primates and so primatology can help us to improve our understanding of human psycology via comparative studies.

Did programs like Zoboomafoo (Kratt Brothers generally) help or hurt conservation efforts?

I want them to have helped, but I know the general population gets weird around “exotic” animals.
