4/30/2004: Tamarin baby

Undertoad · 04-30-2004, 10:51 AM

This is a baby tamarin, age 10 days, who was rejected by his mother at a German zoo. Tamarins are marmosets, a kind of monkey.

Rejected by his mother and why not. There was a horror TV movie on when I was a kid that featured one of these, and it picked up a knife and attacked humans and was intelligent and basically unkillable even if it was locked in the oven.

Maybe this one isn't so hardass. It takes in 1.5 milliliters of baby food every two hours.

OK I want one.

Just look at it. Imagine it was your baby. All covered in fur and with a long tail. THE HORROR!

Those french nails are not typical of the zookeepers I've seen ...

We can stop looking, this has got to be the world's cutest animal. Even lunging at you, weilding a knife, you would still go "Aaaaww, c'mere little guy!."

Its just the right size to be friends with the albino bat.

You guys are being duped. That's just a gerbil with a Don King haircut.

Lady Sidhe · 04-30-2004, 03:46 PM

They're cute full-grown, too. Imagine a cross between a pomeranian, a chow, and a monkey--miniaturized. An adult can fit into your cupped hands.

Better, it's got a tail to "extract" him with.

Oh, welcome to the Cellar, smithgr.

Fake nails, the marmoset probably bit her re cuticle, or wielded a knife at her finger.

I like the nails, manicured and all. The little critter is endeareing also.

pdaoust · 05-01-2004, 11:21 AM

does anyone else here think manicured nails (especially the French variety) are kinda gross?

Oh yeah, I want a miniature primate too.

wolf · 05-01-2004, 11:47 AM

I think they are majorly nasty.

And prone to infection, btw.

Shut up and eat your freedom fries, you French-hater.

pdaoust · 05-01-2004, 10:33 PM

(just don't tell anyone, would you?)
