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!
