Caption

In a test of self-control, a Coquerel's sifaka reaches towards a two-liter soda bottle to retrieve a piece of food at the Duke Lemur Center in Durham, North Carolina. Videos of the tests are available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJhXwsD32s8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPcj15GN-XQ&feature=youtu.be.
