Yeah, I used to love the Kratt brothers and that sifika. I'm surprised it lived this long, tbh. Sad though.

Zoboomafoo was my childhood. At least Jovian, the lemur, lived a long happy life.

This little lemur was stared in my favorite show before I knew who the crocodile hunter was.

MY CHILDHOOD IS DYING! X'O

First Steve Irwin, now this lemur. WHO ELSE? Jack Hannah? The Craft Brothers? Jeff Corwin?

This day just got very very depressing.

It might have been in a different article, but I read on one of these things that the average is around 15 years, so for Jovian to live 20 meant he lived quite a lengthy life.

That's really sad. I loved this show when I was little (and I believe it had quite a bit to do with me getting interested in Zoo Tycoon 2 as well). RIP Jovian. :)

Funny, I just saw this on Twitter. :P

I'm pretty sure this show was what spurred my interest in animals in the first place. That led me to watching Steve Irwin which is I guess the reason I'm here now. I guess you could say this lemur started the domino effect for me. RIP little buddy!

I used to live near Duke and met this lemur in person a long time ago. Sad to see that he's died - I loved the show Zoboomafoo.
