4/22/2005: Baby aye-aye
Another item that has been on Yahoo Most Popular for a while until xoB found a better version on WaPo. What we have here is an "aye-aye", which is the largest nocturnal primate in the world. Kintana is its name (doesn't tell us male or female). After it grows up it will look a little more like a monkey. Until then, it resides in your nightmares. Interestingly, someone else (don't have a note) recently sent a tarsier, another nighttime primate: We haven't seen a lot of images of these animals, because they are nocturnal - since they only come out at night, the world doesn't see them as often as they see other beasties. Their big eyes must be a factor in their night life. The aye-aye has a ring finger twice as long as its other fingers. The larvae they prefer are found inside a small seed, so they use that digit to open the seed up and pull out the larvae goo. Good eats. |

I was in the emergency room last week for my ankle and saw a woman who had overdosed on something or other. She looked like this critter.

Yeah, I'm not sure I even need to photoshop that to turn it into a fictional creature...

Isn't that second one the O'Reilly one? I buy so many of their books I got a free notepad (woo!) from their london sales dude and I'm sure it's the same creature.

This unfortunate critter should have been named "uh-uh", not aye-aye.

It looks like my firstborn. I think it's cute, ya'all.
