Yeah, they have some unpleasant habits though. Some species worse than others.

Ok, I've been staring at that picture for 12 minutes now and I show no sign of being able to move away from it. The combination of the eyes and the tunnel pattern on the inside of the ears is... it's pulling me in and I can't... I can't... get... out. I can't.. feed the children their dinner.

Hang on, I don't have children!

No one else look at this picture!
It has strange powers!
It's a possum trap!

(It is a possum isn't it Avatar? SORRY if it's not, if it's a weird miniature African elephant or something.)

Since Foul's obviously into everything cute, fluffy, and moist-eyed right now (Despite Dog??), he should use this as his seal of approval:

Those pictures are so adorable that I had to pick up the cat and give her many hugs and cuddles. (The cat is now alternating between furiously licking her fur and glaring at me...)

The seal's cute now but wait until I start feeding it bacon grease and hog fat of Despite.

Well, I must admit, the slow loris does have a toxic bite.

Quick, must run and look at slow loris again.... oh the eyes, oh the tongue, oh the tiny cute fingers..... ahhhh, much better.

Hahaha, it's a bushbaby. That's a Mohol bushbaby, (Galago moholi). They call them that because their screams sound like babies lost in the bush at night. There's several different sub-species, and they're related to the lemur...primitive primates, widespread across Africa.

Most of them will urinate into their hands and wash themselves with it, for scent marking. They'll also rub it into their hands and feet and ears to keep the skin moist and improve their grip. (They're nocturnal and arboreal.) Doesn't smell very good.

And they sound like nothing on earth when they scream.

Now every time I do that, people get all squeamish and 'Ewww, what are you doing??!!' on me. I tell them to feel my skin, feel how *soft* and grippy it is, but no one has ever taken me up on the offer. Hmpf. Narrow-minded people. Thank-you Avatar, I have found my Galago moholi family.
