2 Lauri 10.12.06 at 3:35 pm

Heee, tailio protusion! :D

3 gwenchocolate 10.12.06 at 3:35 pm

Normally I would say: The eyes, the eyeeeeeessssss people!
But in this case I will just say: The floooooof, the floooooooof, people!

4 Mary 10.12.06 at 3:35 pm

Wow, there’s just about nothing that doesn’t go into a “rack” is there! And look good doing it!

And how did I get to be second post? I guess it pays to get up early.

5 zak 10.12.06 at 3:36 pm

idk what is cuter the lemur or the girl.

6 mary 10.12.06 at 3:37 pm

Honest.. when I started typing, I was second!

7 Lauri 10.12.06 at 3:38 pm

Ah, but I somehow typed faster, Mary! Better luck next time! (see prev. Otter pic for laughtrack) Muhahahaha!

8 Lauri 10.12.06 at 3:39 pm

Lemur, cute.
Girl, cute.
Johnny Depp. Muy cute.

9 buhtterfly 10.12.06 at 3:46 pm

Man. I am insanely jealous. Lemurs are so adorable. I want to be this girl…

There are some (a lot) of animals I just want to pet while I’m at the zoo. They all look so soft…

10 Subhangi 10.12.06 at 3:47 pm

Anyone get reminded of Madagascar?

“I like ta move it, move it …”

In the voice of Ali G, no less. Awesome, yo!

11 shelby 10.12.06 at 3:51 pm

I want to have a lemur farm….

12 Miette 10.12.06 at 3:56 pm

floofy lemur tailio!
yeller eyeses!
eeep!
snorglesplodinizationnation!

13 Loris 10.12.06 at 3:57 pm

What’s the shoulder-companion? Is it a coatimundi? I hope so. They are meant to be the snuffliest-nosed creatures in the world.

14 pugmamatimestwo 10.12.06 at 4:00 pm

That is an exceptionally comfy and exceptionally Qte little varmint. Good for him :)

15 Redzilla 10.12.06 at 4:03 pm

Edward Lemurhands. Be weird making out with that guy.

16 I love lemurs 10.12.06 at 4:04 pm

Does anyone know, is there a zoo where you can hold lemurs? Or does this girl work for the zoo and that’s why she gets to hold them? I want to hold lemurs too.

17 A thinker 10.12.06 at 4:05 pm

What astonishes me about this pic is the eerie resemblance between the lemur and the Johnny Depp-represenation on the shirt. All Johnny needs is glowing yellow eyes to complete the coordination.

18 Cait 10.12.06 at 4:06 pm

I have extreme lemur-envy. Why-oh-why can’t *I* snuggle a lemur? I bet he’s got little grippy feet an’ everything. *sigh*

19 NebraskaErin 10.12.06 at 4:13 pm

I was totally thinking Madagascar, Subhangi.

I bet that lemur likes to move it, move it, too.

20 MamaDawn 10.12.06 at 4:19 pm

I Love Lemurs: There is a wildlife park in Northwest Arkansas that will let you get up close and personal. If you’re anywhere near, email me and I’ll give you details. I’ve had grizzly cubs in my jacket, bebe tigers and lions chewing on my shoelaces etc.

21 maus 10.12.06 at 4:25 pm

…or a brandon lee hoodie, for that matter.

22 Dewi CasGwent 10.12.06 at 4:34 pm

Loris

Just saw pictures of coatimundi, and do look cute, so why hasn’t anybody posted pictures yet, we cuteologist have missed a great source of cute.

Dewi

23 Dewi CasGwent 10.12.06 at 4:37 pm

Just look at this one

http://ling.uta.edu/~laurel/yucatanphotos.html

its a nosicle

Dewi

24 Mike 10.12.06 at 4:37 pm

“Does anyone know, is there a zoo where you can hold lemurs?”

Or a zoo where you hold girls? ;o)

25 Becky 10.12.06 at 4:40 pm

Does anyone besides me notice that there are two animals on the girl?

26 SilvorMoon 10.12.06 at 4:41 pm

Awww, it’s cute! I want one!

…and since I think the whole purpose of this site is to make you go, “Aww, it’s cute! I want one!”, I suppose we can consider this pic a winner. :-)

27 MamaDawn 10.12.06 at 4:44 pm

Mike, most zoos are BYOG (bring your own girl)

28 Lauri 10.12.06 at 4:46 pm

Hahahaha, you guys are good!
Dewi, eeeeeee the widdle bebe coatimundi!!! Such a cute schnozzicle!

And, Mike….um, I am sure there are farms like that…um…internet???

29 Rafael 10.12.06 at 4:46 pm

Poor little thing, it cold and cool at the same time.

Oh yes, the lemur, yeah he is cute to, I think!

:=>

30 foxy bingo 10.12.06 at 4:46 pm

not being kinky but wouldn’t that ear fluff feel great tickling your cleavage? Hem…?

31 I love lemurs 10.12.06 at 4:52 pm

MamaDawn, yes please tell me the name of the zoo in Arkansas. I’m in San Francisco but I’d like to know about it in case I find myself in the area. Or maybe I would go there just for the animals. Do they have lemurs there? Thanks.

32 Redzilla 10.12.06 at 4:53 pm

Apparently Foxy Bingo wants a date with Edward Lemurhands.

Oh, and on the zoo front–the trick is to find a nice zoo in a small town. I volunteered at a nice little zoo in a town of <40,000. In 3 years I got to snuggle colobus monkeys, snow leopard kittens, a bison calf, meerkats, binturong babies, and yes, yes, my friends, for a whole week, I spent the night with a pair of red panda kits. You know I totally snorgled them once left alone.

33 Theo 10.12.06 at 4:54 pm

Maus — I was originally thinking The Crow, too. Except, then I thought it might be Robert Smith (of The Cure). Or even J. Depp as Edward Lemurhands.

Heck, it’s generic enough to be that Green Day dude, if he threw some cornstarch on his face.

34 Lauri 10.12.06 at 4:55 pm

Whoa, you are one lucky zilla! :)

35 Lauri 10.12.06 at 4:55 pm

Speaking of lemurhands….do you think “they” are the reason for the sly smile on her face?

36 Redzilla 10.12.06 at 4:56 pm

Just beware that at a zoo where they let volunteers snuggle with rare animals, they also let you do things like spend 4 hours in sub zero temps, trapped on the roof of the chimp exhibit, with a tranquilizer gun frozen in your hand, lying in wait to tranq an excaped puma.

37 Theo 10.12.06 at 5:04 pm

Pffft. We’re still jealous, RedZ.

38 Lauri 10.12.06 at 5:07 pm

Whoa..that story is not a deterrent, Red!

39 Redzilla 10.12.06 at 5:09 pm

Hmmm…yeah, you probably should be, Theo. ‘Cause although that was one miserable, scary night, I kissed those red panda kits like eleventy billion times to make up for it. I even kissed their little paw pads.

Too bad we didn’t have any leapin lemurs.

40 Mandy 10.12.06 at 5:34 pm

OMG I want one.

41 Theo 10.12.06 at 5:41 pm

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF INTENTIONAL DYSLEXUS:
“Just beware that at a zoo where they let volunteers snuggle with rare animals, they also let you do things like spend 4 hours in sub zero temps, trapped on the roof of the chimp exhibit, with a tranquilizer gun frozen in your hand, lying in wait to tranq an escaped tuna.”

42 Redzilla 10.12.06 at 5:45 pm

Said tuna was later enjoyed with some mayo and relish on melba toast.

43 I love lemurs 10.12.06 at 5:48 pm

Okay, I found the website of a zoo in Halifax, PA that says they have Brown Lemurs in their petting zoo. The picture above looks like a Ring-Tail to me but I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on a Brown Lemur too. The zoo is called Lake Tobias Wildlife Park. 126 miles from Philadelphia.

44 Rob 10.12.06 at 5:51 pm

Awww, cute bebeh! And the lemurs are nice too. ;)

45 Theo 10.12.06 at 5:51 pm

OK, how about “…lying in wait to tranq an escaped tuba”?

I sooooo don’t want to be at work today.

46 Tiffany 10.12.06 at 5:52 pm

This is sort of scary looking.

47 Redzilla 10.12.06 at 6:05 pm

Said tuba was later enjoyed as part of an Oktoberfest oompah band.

I don’t want to be at work today either, Theo, but in my case it’s because class is out of session at the university and it’s a fricking ghost town. [insert tumbleweed music from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.]

48 Subhangi 10.12.06 at 6:06 pm

Teho – I empathise. The same thing happens when you’re a teacher’s pet (in COLLEGE! How embarrassing!) – you get called for EVERY damn silly errand. GAH.

I need to get some sleep. G’night, peeps.

49 Lauri 10.12.06 at 6:09 pm

Night, Subhangi! Dream of snow~!

50 Lauri 10.12.06 at 6:11 pm

“….an escaped pe-tunia”

51 Theo 10.12.06 at 6:25 pm

Said petunia was later enjoyed in the band of an outrageous floppy hat, at high tea.

52 Redzilla 10.12.06 at 6:33 pm

Harrumpf…beat me to it.
[thinking, thinking, thinking]

“an escaped poobah”?

53 Lauri 10.12.06 at 6:52 pm

The escaped poobah was later enjoyed was later seen floating on a raft sipping an appletini.

54 Lauri 10.12.06 at 6:52 pm

Oh criste. That didn’t come out at ALL. Lol.

55 Theo 10.12.06 at 6:54 pm

LOL, Lauri. I like it that way.

56 Aquila 10.12.06 at 7:04 pm

That look of total admiration in that lemur’s eyes…*sigh*
Lauri, the “lemurhands” joke–*snort*!
And the *first* thing I thought of was Madagascar. Earworms, anyone? LOL

57 NebraskaErin 10.12.06 at 7:32 pm

Does anyone else think Mr. Lemurhands is up to no good under that hoodie?

Naughty lemur.

58 lemura 10.12.06 at 8:13 pm

Lemurs rock!

I’m starting a gang called “The Ringtails”. Anyone want to join?

59 Jennifer 10.12.06 at 8:14 pm

Absolutely precious! Thanks for the smile, as always.

60 Lauri 10.12.06 at 9:08 pm

The Rockin’ Ringtails? Will you sell Ringtones?

61 PuddyTat 10.12.06 at 9:11 pm

Cute! Cute! Cute!

What makes it even way cooler? EVERYONE OF YOU recongnized the Edward Scissorhands hoodie!!!! WELL DONE!!!

62 Scofield 10.12.06 at 9:33 pm

You’re spoiling me. Cats, hammies, whatever, and now lemmies.

I’m expecting not less than otters-n-rack now.

otties <3 (I'm still trying to recover from the previous post)

63 ABBYNORMAL 10.12.06 at 9:54 pm

MamaDawn,, the place in Arksansa no longer lets you go in the Lemur cage since some nimrod got bite by one. They even have wire around the cage so you cant ever pet them from the outside. Ticked me off to no end as I would drive up there every other weekend just for the Lemurs.

64 Rich Fader 10.12.06 at 9:55 pm

Lemur in the hoodie: “All hail…the New York Giants!”

65 Fletcher T 10.12.06 at 10:01 pm

It’s was a place in North East Texas, due to Texas law the owner can’t let you into the cage any more though :( , but she will sit one on your shoulder for pictures!

They are amazingly floofy! And so affectionate!

I’ve plenty of more pictures, but this was by far the cutest!

66 mommy24bunnies 10.12.06 at 10:33 pm

I can’t help but wan’t to sing “I like to move it move it!” (From Madagascar)

67 Otters Wule 10.12.06 at 10:46 pm

Lemurs hooray! I’ve been looking into them lately for art purposes. I want a pet lemur…

68 Adam Villani 10.12.06 at 11:10 pm

Speaking of lemurs ‘n’ racks, I was at the Santa Ana Zoo last month, and there was a female lemur with giant boobage. I mean, it was totally the big jugs lemur. Kinda frightening.

69 Janey 10.12.06 at 11:37 pm

Enough with the ” ‘n racks” crap. You can bearly see the animals.

70 Lauri 10.12.06 at 11:51 pm

Well, at least we can’t see the racks barely! (I mean, it’s a good thing we can’t see bare racks…I mean…nevermind. )

71 lemura 10.13.06 at 12:16 am

“The Ringtails” will give away ringtones that sound like contented purring. And we’ll jump on objects that please us anytime, whether those objects are animate or inanimate. And we’ll cuddle and sleep in the sun. We’ll work, at most, one hour a day. And we’ll make people laugh with our lemur gymnastics.

72 michelle 10.13.06 at 2:34 am

So the lemur and Johnny Depp look freakishly alike.

73 mitsu 10.13.06 at 3:57 am

I’ll bet that lemur is actually lying in wait to prank an escaped vicuna.

74 sugarskull 10.13.06 at 6:14 am

Last time I was in Brazil, we were hiking near Iguacu falls and a bunch of Coati’s came down from the trees to sniff us and check us out. It was rad.

Public Service Anouncement:
Hmm..these zoos with wild animal snorgling don’t sound so good for the wild animals. Hate to be a downer but I think wild animals no matter how cute should not be pets, or snorgled in zoos if it can be avoided.

75 foxy bingo 10.13.06 at 3:06 pm

Redzilla,

Until I read the comments I thought the pic on the t-shirt was Siouxsie Sioux :-0

76 lutraphile 10.15.06 at 5:33 am

Ol’ yeller eyes is back…?
(please tell me someone gets this reference :D )

77 Rio 10.16.06 at 5:45 am

I have the same hoodie!

78 Aluriaphin 10.27.06 at 7:54 pm

I keep comin back to this pic just to read the “mmmmmmm…. yeller eyes starin’ back up atcha”… Heh, yeller!

79 hoplite9 01.30.07 at 10:30 am

Are you trying to play Darwin to the lemurs in your head?

80 Theo 01.30.07 at 1:43 pm

[huh]

Did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You took my picture, now it’s all that I’ve got

(well, I tried)

81 Eden 02.20.07 at 10:07 am

Oh. Mygod.
I recognise that cage. And the background. AND THOSE LEMURS.
That’s Colby’s Extreme Pets (Now Colby’s Zoo to you) in Texas!
The brown lemur on her shoulder is Romeo, and I believe the one in her shirt is Spidey.

Wow. Seeing those 2 again, espepecially on a random site, is just amazing for me. God, how I miss them..
I used to volunteer there for a while. Got to do stuff like this with the Lemurs all the time. For a Lemur freak like me, it was like heaven. <3

And, Lemurs are as soft as they look; They groom their own fur, too, so no brushing is needed. Serously, if they weren’t a little wild at times, they’d be awesome pets. We should totally domestcate them.

82 Elissa 04.06.07 at 10:08 pm

ya, my name is Elissa and that is me in the picture with that lemur, his name is velcro…. i don’t remember giving anyone permission to use this photo, and i don’t know how ya’ll got it… if you don’t believe its me go to my my space http://www.myspace.com/33622599
i’ve dyed my hair since then….
