Luke Dollar has spent many years in Madagascar studying lemurs (狐猴).
Reporter: What were you like as a kid?
Dollar: As a kid, I was an explorer. I lived with my grandparents on a farm in Alabama. It wasn’t unusual for me to go to the woods. And I enjoyed that. From the time I was 6 to 16 years old I was an actor. My mom asked me to audition
(试演) for a show in Birmingham. I asked my mom to buy me some video games and she promised (答应), so I got the part. Later, I became a professional actor. So for several years I went everywhere from the Alabama farm to many other cities — all over the USA doing stage productions.
Reporter: How did you get into your field of work?
Dollar: I grew up on a farm and I was really a wild child and came to love wild things. I did a lot of photography in high school. I became a photographer and did photography for the local paper. Then I became a student of Duke University. Duke has a primate (灵长类动物的) centre — Lemur Centre. I got a job there as a work study student and met lemurs there for the first time.
Later I had a chance to go to Madagascar and decided to study lemurs.
Reporter: What’s the one thing you can’t travel without?
Dollar: A sense of humour (幽默感) or a can-do attitude is necessary, but my first response (反应) was soy sauce. If we run out of soy sauce, the journey is over.
