crumpeteer had this cute photo on her page:



It led the Canadian and I to investigating what on earth the strange creature was. At first we thought that it was a lemur. Then the Canadian found out from the page Unbelievable Animals that it's a strange little animal called a tarsier.

They are such funny-looking creatures. Cute-Ugly even.



I asked the Canadian if he'd ever consider holding a tarsier



He said yes - but what if it was a grumpy one like this one?



The Unbelievable Animals page also had a very freaky creature that looked like it could totally eat your brain. It's called a lamprey and it's a parasitic marine/aquatic animal with a toothed, funnel-like sucking mouth. They are well-known for those species which bore into the flesh of other fish to suck their blood. Eek!

Eek!



Eek eek!



*is horrified*



Who needs sci fi monsters when we have lampreys for inspiration!
