1. They might want to consider getting that out of the light.

Isn't that a nocturnal beast?

Probably for the best that it comes out at night. Not the most attractive critter out there.

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. It's cute...

in the "so ugly it's cute" category

[ET Awful]

3. LOL . . . that is one cool lookin' critter :)

It looks like something Jim Henson would have created for the Dark Crystal or something :).

[Darth_Kitten]

4. It's Zaboomafoo's

[Maestro]

14. You're friggin' right

My little daughter thinks that it is the cutest thing she has seen in a long time.

[ReadTomPaine]

25. I guess the Aye Aye is today's "mystery animal"

I think this is a great children's show, as well.

28. Yeah--the animals are so cool

and there are some great tidbits of info coming out of the show! And the Kraft brothers are not too bad to look at either! *hubba, hubba*

5. Ooooh!

An Einsteinian hair-cut primate!
Cute!
Only a new-born white-pink human baby with no hair is ucky to me, the frontanel beating and capillaries showing .... Much prefer human babies with hair and some skin color not showing the capillary system. How people can think they are cute is beyond me. Oh well, taste and colors shouldn't be discussed.

6. Hey, we're all related to that critter

Lemurs are primates like us, dontcha know.

[lenidog]

7. Is it supposed to look like its balding?

[MADem]

10. It looks like that poor senator undergoing chemo

Whatsisface....the republican, damn the name escapes me. He looks like shit lately. I don't especially like the guy, but I don't wish his hell on anyone.....

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. I think it's hideously adorable.

HAHA!

[CatWoman]

9. sorta like those troll dolls in the 70's

[Goathead]

11. Damn, that is awesome.

I was looking for a pic of an aye-aye for a post a few weeks ago and couldn't find one that really captures how strange they are. That one does. Was it you that started the thread about how you wanted a meercat? :hi:

[CatWoman]

19. I think Meercats are just delightful

:hi:

however, I wasn't the one.

[Fenris]

12. I thought it was going to be...

[CatWoman]

20. aaaieeeeeeeeeeeee

[MisterP]

29. he's like a twisted, evil mockery of my yoga teacher

[FizzFuzz]

34. now THAT's disgusting

ew he looks absolutely deformed.

any upper-lip donors out there?

the tiny beady eyes don't help either...


delivers; feh, he should be delivering pizza. For Domino's, the fair and balanced RW pizza. :puke:

[Darth_Kitten]

13. I think I dated him once.....

Just kidding.

He's kinda cute though. :evilgrin:

[B Calm]

22. I think it's a girl

[China_cat]

15. A face only a mother could love...

and then only on payday.

[Ann Arbor Dem]

16. I swear that's what I saw when looked in the mirror Friday morning.....

What can I say? It was a rough week!

:o

[demodewd]

17. I always knew

I always knew GW was a premee.

[vixengrl]

21. Oooooh. I want to hug him and love him and pet him

(only very, very gently, since he's so little). I just won't call him George. Like Tinkerbell to my Paris.

[roguevalley]

23. God, I'm in love. I love lemurs and this baby is a beauty. :-D

[barackmyworld]

24. Dobby just wants to help harry potter!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. It DOES look like Dobby!

:D

[UrbScotty]

27. Jar Jar Binks? Is that you?

It looks like Jar Jar to me.

[Kadie]

30. I think it's cute.

[elshiva]

31. Well the one in your post is cute, Kadie.

But both have soulful eyes.

[FizzFuzz]

32. Ahhahaha! Adorable!

I once saw some National Geographic video and there was a short clip of an Aye-Aye. Looking straight into the camera while picking her/his nose! Then, nibbling his/her finger. (they have a specialized, long thin middle finger for probing trees to find bugs, and for...nose probing, I guess)

I laughed my ASS off! Too funny!! :rofl:

:D

[Starlight]

33. Are you sure that isn't a space alien?

That's what it looks like to me. :hide:

[Dervill Crow]

35. How weirdly cute!

Maybe it's because I'm a mom, but I love it.
