Cute...

...but I don't think I'd want one for a pet.

BRISTOL, Great Britain -- 'Kintana' is the first captive bred aye-aye, an arboreal nocturnal lemur, Daubentonia madagascariensis, a native to Madagascar, to be born in the United Kingdom. Bristol Zoo Gardens announced that it is the first UK zoo to successfully breed and hand-rear an aye-aye, the largest nocturnal primate in the world and one of the strangest mammals on the planet.

This one, on the other hand, is also cute and slightly less creepy looking. It's from the Philippines. Well, that explains it.

BOHOL ISLAND, Philippines -- A Philippine Tarsier watches as a photographer takes his picture inside a captive breeding center in Loboc town on Bohol Island. The endangered animal, who feeds on tiny insects is believed to be the world's smallest primate. (03/11/05 AP photo)

All of these (and more) are from a slideshow on the local news website. I thought they were entertaining.

Awww...thanks dude, I'm glad I drove down too, and ditto on the soup, but it was nice having some flavor on the drive home *wink wink*. Your initials totally threw me off, cause another friend now has the initials M.B, so yeah. But it's all good now, I figured it out. lol.
