My eyeball’s bigger than my ear, oh yeah

by Meg on November 12, 2007

Dewd, when your eyeball is bigger than your ear, we can talk. Until then, step the heck off.

Colugo (or Flying Lemur)

4 Annie 11.12.07 at 4:52 am

Actually…I find this slightly creepy >_<

6 Arcene 11.12.07 at 4:55 am

Weeeeow… that’s quite a large peeper. Prosh.

7 Meef 11.12.07 at 5:00 am

I am also a big fan of the teensy and moist nostrils and overbite.

8 cheryl 11.12.07 at 5:04 am

9 Colleen 11.12.07 at 5:08 am

Is he related to the shocked chipmunk/ gopher/ whatever from the Japanese television show? :)

10 JT 11.12.07 at 5:13 am

It’s like I’m watching ice Age… cute :)

11 Valerie 11.12.07 at 5:25 am

He totally looks like that thing from Ice Age!

14 Subhangi 11.12.07 at 5:54 am

16 Melsa 11.12.07 at 7:00 am

He’s so cute!

17 moosie 11.12.07 at 7:08 am

I love lemurs! CO should have a picture of tarsiers as well – their eyeballs are larger than their brains! :D

18 Aubrey 11.12.07 at 7:57 am

“Jeepers, lemur
Where’d you get those peepers?
Jeepers, lemur
Where’d you get those eyes?”

19 Donna Grayson 11.12.07 at 8:06 am

Those are the biggest brown eyes – what a cutie !!!

He looks like he needs a hug …

20 darkshines 11.12.07 at 8:56 am

I love this creature, he looks like a hairy snake. I want to slink him between my fingers. Don’t ruin my illusion by telling me he has legs, I like him hoe he is.

And yeah, he totlly looks like that thing from Ice Age, that always has a nut, lol!

21 Hon Glad 11.12.07 at 9:26 am

The off spring of a mating twixt a Mongoose and a tawny Owl.

22 acelightning 11.12.07 at 9:46 am

There’s something almost bird-like about that head – his snout looks a lot like a beak. The total effect reminds me of a baby ostrich or emu…

23 CheVos 11.12.07 at 12:49 pm

Weeeeow… that’s quite a large peeper. Prosh.

24 Tony James 11.12.07 at 1:00 pm

Aubrey – Siouxsie Lemur?

25 Kara 11.12.07 at 2:22 pm

Definitely in the So-Ugly-It’s-Cute category. ^_^ (You know, like the pup in ‘As Good As It Gets’?)

26 Sid 11.12.07 at 2:24 pm

Wow. Was Peter Lorre a lemur?

27 Momof2kitties 11.12.07 at 2:54 pm

The guy from Ice Age is named Scrat–as in half sqwerl, half rat. Yes, he does look like that. Where’s the acorn, tho’?

28 Theresa 11.12.07 at 3:10 pm

“My eyeball’s bigger than my ear, oh yeah”

Sounds like the first line of a blues song. ;)

29 Kiragirl 11.12.07 at 3:38 pm

“My eyeball’s bigger than my ear, oh yeah.

I haven’t had a lemurette in over a year, oh yeah.

She took one look at meeeeee,
said “Your eyeball’s bigger than your peepee”

But at least it’s not as huge as your rear, oooooooh yeaaaaaaaah”

30 Kiragirl 11.12.07 at 3:39 pm

I’m baaaaaack.

31 Persephone 11.12.07 at 4:34 pm

A Flying Lemur? Anyone else thinking of Momo from Avatar: the Last Airbender?

32 Alice Shortcake 11.12.07 at 6:07 pm

Sid, you beat me to it. That’s a excellent Peter Lorre impression!

33 Tricia Garrett 11.12.07 at 6:19 pm

I think the white kitty from the post above has shocked him.

34 Loris 11.12.07 at 6:40 pm

YAY! A fellow prosimian! About time too.

35 berthaslave 11.12.07 at 6:46 pm

Her nose is wet and cold,
Her lips a prosh surprise,
Her ears are teeny folds,
She’s got crazy lemur eyes!

And she’ll tease you
She’ll unease you
All the better just to please you
She’s precocious and she knows just what it takes to make the ’nuffs blush,

All the sqwerls thinks she’s a spaz,
She’s got crazy lemur eyes.

36 SJ 11.12.07 at 6:53 pm

Wow! I’ve never seen a lemur such as this before! Thanks Meg for the edu ;)

Seriously, he looks like a Disney creation come to life! (Or is that pixar!)

Gorgeous & perfect in every way :)

37 jen 11.12.07 at 7:58 pm

i get bags under my eyes too.

berthaslave, lol

38 Melanie 11.12.07 at 9:21 pm

Loris and LJ, this a colugo or “flying lemur” which is misleading–it doesn’t fly nor is it a lemur of the primate order. It’s actually of the order Dermoptera.

39 Melanie 11.12.07 at 9:31 pm

Oh, and Meg-they are herbivorous. So, no grub eating :)

40 Catsquatch 11.13.07 at 1:38 am

A PROSIMIAN OSTRICH!!!!!

I SO WANT ONE FOR MY ZOO!!!!

41 Mohr 11.13.07 at 2:35 am

It’s a flying lemur, or more correctly a “colugo.” despite the name it has neither the ability of flight, nor is it actually a lemur, discuss.

42 Carmen 11.13.07 at 3:38 am

If he were a human i would date him

43 Madeleine 11.13.07 at 4:49 am

Somehow this guy reminds me of Little Foot from The Land Before Time.

What’s with the nubbly ear? I want to soft kronsche it (if it is indeed an ear).

44 LunaKat 11.13.07 at 7:28 pm

Am I imagining it, or does his eye have lashes all the way around… a teeny tiny fringe of them? Awwwww…. he’s an orig, fo sho! Maybe he’s tryin to figure out how to fly, that’s why he looks so pensive..

45 lemurtx 11.13.07 at 9:15 pm

And just as I was about to add my .2 in about it not being a REAL lemur…What’s funny is that I posted a photo of a “special green lemur” on my blog that has wings. I had totally forgotten that I had heard about flying lemurs before…This one is a stuffed animal that should be on uglyoverload…! (Found on etsy.com for $79!!!) http://pics.livejournal.com/lemur_librarian/pic/0000fb6y/
