Happy Sámi National Day. We Are Indigenous. Removing the word from US federal awards and projects does not erase the truth of who we are or of Indigenous guardianship of the earth.
Lihkku sámi álbmotbeivviin! Honoring #Sámi National Day – celebrating the resilience, traditions, and deep connection of the Sámi people to the #Arctic landscape💙❄️

There are many reasons to love Duke Lemur Center, the latest is a graph mapping individual variations in the center's ring-tailed lemurs, based on ear angle & pointiness

Angle range: Cat (straight up) to Airplane (side-to-side)
Pointiness range: Round to Elf
