No, not this kind of Gremlin.



No, not this kind either.



This kind of Gremlin...
OK, it's not scientifically a Gremlin, it's a Pygmy Tarsier.


Quote:
Three specimens of the pygmy tarsier, a nocturnal creature about the size of a small mouse, were trapped and tracked
this summer on Mount Rorekatimbo in Lore Lindu National Park in Central Sulawesi, Texas A&M University reported.

Before this year, only three specimens had ever been collected, according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Two were found in 1916 and 1930. The third was a dead pygmy tarsier that Indonesian scientists found in a rat trap on
Mount Rorekatimbo in 2000. That motivated primatologists to intensify their search for a live specimen of the species,
"but none of them were able to find it," Gursky-Doyen said.
The link provided no recipes, but I imagine roasting them over a large bonfire of endangered tropical hardwoods would do it.
