dimorphic.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19):  Avoid stress due to
habitat loss.   Possibly join a zoo.
Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18):  Mating opportunities

lifestyle.  Be more gregarious.

conspecifics plotting to take over your territory.

Emphasize exudates.

someone in upper canopy may be interested.
Gemini (May 21-Jun 20):  A prehensile tail figures
prominently in your future.  Go for it!
Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22):  Problems ahead. Avoid
brachiating, polygyny and figs.
Leo (Jul 23-Aug21):  You have a tendency to rush
things.  Be patient.  Now is not the time to leave
your natal group.
Virgo (Aug 22-Sep 22):  Focus on new foraging

Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22):  Your species will go extinct

Extinct Lemur Society for support.

Dear Win,
      I'm trying to find out whether stinky galagos are
precocial or altricial.  Can you recommend something for
me?  By the way, sorry about your father.
R.P. Maudlin-Jones

Most Honorable Maudlin-Jones,
      Opinion of 1st son is valueless, but I so happy to be
recommending Oondóué M. Boué, “Precociality of New-
Born Stinky Galagos,”  Journal of the African Nocturnal
Primate Society
,  27:42-82.

MEMO TO:  Win Wing Win.
      Keep this to yourself.  I've been having a hard time
going to sleep at night, and I think I need a little light
reading to help me drop off.  Maybe something about
mating strategies in marmosets and tamarins.  Got any
ideas?
FROM THE DESK OF:
PUBLISHER
Arnett Putney, III

Most Highly Venerable Publisher,
      I so being grateful to you for present job.  I most
unworthy, but I very recommending Polyester and
Polyestrousness in Callitrichid Primate Social Systems

by Dr. Francois Oppenheimer Muldoon of Harvard
University Primate Behavior Group.  It most good good.

Dear Win,
      I was in Badongo-Gazimbi recently, and I'd like to
learn more about their traffic problems, especially as
they relate to primates.  Do you know of anything
published in this area?
Eric Scotmeister Fleiglehaus

Respected Senior Colleague,
      Apologize most abjectly for not anything knowing
about Badongo-Gazimbi.  Perhaps you look at “Driving
Behavior of African Pongids” by Sir Sprockett Watley-
Treedle,  Encyclopedia of Myrmecophagic Primates,
London, 1912.

Dear Win,
      The last time I was at a Chinese restaurant with your
father, he asked me to take care of you if anything were
to happen to him.  Now that he has been accidentally
frozen, you can come and live with my family at my
soapstone-lined mountain hideaway tucked away high
in the Hollywood Hills, but your five brothers will have
to fend for themselves.
Christopher Shaw

Most admired friend,
      Thanks thanks but no thanks thanks.  I belong
