To be fair, “Catfood Cat” is an OK cat name.

Watched it with my 17-year-old daughter last night. It was her introduction to Ze Frank's "True Facts". As soon as it was over, she headed down the rabbit hole to watch more. My personal favorite is the one about the Mantis Shrimp.

My favorite is the one about owls. The line about baby owls camouflaging themselves as muppets cracks me up everytime.
This was a solid entry.

More about lemurs, and how we're their descendents: The Lemurs' Legacy. It's a good read (I haven't watched the documentary yet).

I've occasionally wondered what Ze Frank was up to since his odd Star.me endeavor. (Last one was inspired when my kids spontaneously joked about putting a piece of bread on two sides of the earth and I revealed that that's been done.)
This was most welcome. Thank you.

The Duke Lemur Center helped with the making of this video.

At first I thought he said the Cute Lemur Centre.
Which I think we can all agree is a better name.
