Researchers at the Duke Lemur Center studying the fat-tailed dwarf lemur in order to determine if their unique adaptations can help solve human biological problems. In the case of the fat-tailed dwarf lemur, researchers are trying to determine the biological mechanisms that enable it to hibernate for six months at a time. Their body temperature drops to nearly ambient temperature and their brains pretty much shut down when they go into torpor. Figuring out how they pull of this feat could lead to innovations in cryogenics, space travel, longevity, and medicine.
