Living & extinct
We saw this informational display as we walked back inside NamanaBe Hall. Hanging above the top glass shelf are painted models of lemur heads. The shelf below that holds a few bones from a Pygmy Hippo (hippopotamus lemerlei) that went extinct about 1000 years ago. The next shelf down displays skulls and a skeleton of living Lemurs. It also holds the skull of a Giant Lemur that went extinct about 500 years ago, about the same time as the Elephant Bird whose bone and egg are displayed on the bottom.
