    Is this a galago or bush baby? Wow, I loves me some prosh prosimians!

  2. Alison says:

    Just what I needed after a long angry night watching the RNC…how cute is this thing?!

  3. WOW! That is MUPPET unreal!

  4. Alison says:

    I just thought of something…did anyone have the “Serendipity” books when they were growing up? They were about different critters, some real, some made up, and they all had a little cute rhyming summary at the end…this guy looks like he should have his own Serendipity book!

  5. Q says:

    What a face! I luv eettt! My nose is against the screen giving you luv!

  6. danbenzvi says:

    For you, little one? I not only can cuddles, I most definitely will cuddles.

  7. Crystal says:

    Someone help, I am mesmerized with those eyes. Can not work, must touch & snuggle…bonk…

  8. Karen says:

    Alison, he does look like a Serendipity character! I read those to my daughter!

  9. Eastie says:

    Of course I can cuddles! You look so soft and cozy…

  10. Kari says:

    Awww, his face looks like my guinea pig’s face! Gizmo gives me this cute little look with his mouth open ever-so-slightly just like that — melts my heart right on the spot!

  11. jenjen says:

    Awwwwwwwwwww! I think that’s a slow loris. The fast lorises are harder to photograph.

  12. katiedid says:

    looks like the hobbit heheh.. the cartoon one…

  13. KailinRileysMom says:

    We still have Serendipity books at our house, waiting for some grandchildren to
    read them to.

  14. Q says:

    Total hobbit face! Good call!

  15. Theo says:

  18. biscuithead says:

  19. Erebella says:

    That critter is just too cute to be real! Giant dark eyes like that always kill me.

    *watching Crystal bonk her head against her screen. Again, and again.*

  20. Theresa says:

  23. ThreeCatNight says:

    Not only can I cuddles but I can hugs and kees you too if you likes.

  24. Michelle S says:

    The mouth is too cute. But the two thumbs on each paw just puts this creature over the top.

  25. KateJaneway says:

    Awwww!! I want a full screen version for my desktop!!
    So adorable, this little guy just brightened up my day! <333

  26. Karebear says:

    That little mouth reminds me of a Mon Chi Chi, with the little thumb you stick in it.
    anyone else remember those?

  27. snusnu says:

    Slowlorisslowloris!!!! My favoritist animal in the worldses! I sat for about an hour in the Nocturnal House at the Woodland Park Zoo a few weeks ago and watched the keeper feed three wee fuzzy beasty lorises caterpillars. Then one loris tried to groom the keeper’s hair. I was very jealous.

  28. Dewi says:

    That face is ‘oh what happened to your fur; do you need a cuddle why it grows back?’

  29. Dewi says:

    why = while

  30. Mary (the first) says:

    Is that a bebeh on her tummy or is she just crawling over some other critter’s tail?? I’m confused. Also. .. what is it with the slow-oozing-but-furry-looking critters today? Can anyone at CO management explain this??

  31. Hila says:

    “Why yes, I do have the cutest little face you’ve ever seen. Why do you ask?”

  32. bats :[ says:

    A very cute picture book (and one with wonderful illustrations), is called “Slow Loris,” by UK writer Alexis Deacon — worth trying to find at your library or bookstore, because Slow Loris has a secret…

  33. Yes, yes, they eyes are lovely, folks. But let us not overlook the muzzlepouche. It’s so pink and dainty.

    @Karebear, I remember Mon Chi Chis, too.

  34. Andi says:

    Yes, can cuddles. Come snuggles, babylicious.

  35. Von Zeppelin says:

    You can make slow lorises a lot faster with the right tires and a little work on the fuel injection. You can get 400 Lorispower out of one those babies easy.

  36. brinnann says:

    *teeheehee* Miifinks himz jus krawlin ober anudder floofii monkii.

    Wow, himz sew kyoot ai fil obilj- ublig- ablaij-, ai haz ta uz teh lolspeak. o.0

  37. Theo says:

  38. Theo says:

    Von Z, you’re gonna drive me to drinkin’
    If you don’t stop drivin’ that hot
    rod
    Loris.

  39. foxy says:

    I’m not sure if it’s a baby or just another loris underneath this one, but the fact that the belly has eyes is somewhat disconcerting.

  40. gracekitty says:

    Since I haven’t been lucky enough to meet a bush baby I’m curious – is this one? All the pictures I can find have babies with much larger ears. NONE of them are as cute as this precious baby!

  41. gracekitty says:

    I fount it!! It’s a fat-tailed dwarf lemur!! http://lemur.duke.edu/animals/fattaileddwarf/

  42. Keith Handy says:

    I suggest you keep him away from water and bright light, and never, never feed him after midnight!

  43. Mary (the first) says:

    those hands are completely different from a dwarf lemur…

  44. gracekitty says:

    Mary (the first) In my state of overloadness I didn’t catch Foxy’s reference to a loris. That’s definitely what it is.

  45. ebckert says:

    OMG, that is a bebeh slow loris down there.

    Be afraid peoples, cause
    the cute is now squared.

  46. alicia says:

    *reaches forward with straining noises…hits screen with hand* want!

  47. Polly says:

    Oh my, fuzzy fingers, count me in on the cuddlin’.

  48. Theresa says:

    Is that maybe Nigel the lemur or one of his descendants??

  49. Tanya says:

    That CAN’T be real! **swoon**

  50. Golden or NTKTOK says:

    snusnu: Woodland Park Zoo.. that’s in my neck of the woods!! I will go see the slow loris ASAP.

  51. michii says:

    @Alison: I LOVED the Serendipity books! Leo the Lop!! <3 this little guy belongs on one of those covers with those humongoid doll eyes of his :D *cuddles*

  52. Laura in Alameda, CA says:

    Oh, the darling little banana fingers. I kiss them.

  53. dub1 says:

    I shall construct my own slow lorus from Neapolitan nice cream, in guyliner chocolate, muzzlepouche strawberry, and Amish-beard vanilla, with chok’lit-covered coffee beans for plink.

  54. nads says:

  59. michellemybelle says:

  71. Theo says:

  72. Blaggle says:

    My friend Susan does a perfect slow loris impression. Reach slowly for fruit. Turn upside down in slow motion. Turn head sideways. Gratuitous upside downnness. Munch fruit.

  73. Amanda M. says:

  77. luckybat says:

    @Karebear and Groovy Chick – didn’t they have a commercial for mon chi chi’s (back in the day, ha ha!)? They must have, cause I’ve got a TERRIBLE earworm of a song I can’t quite remember the words too…something like:

    MON! chichi! MON! chichi!
    OH! so SOFT and CUDD-L-LY

    ooo – brain hurts from trying to remember so long ago…

  78. jackie31337 says:

    Squeeeeee! I don’t care what it is, it is dangerously adorable and I must cuddle it!

  79. Totalee Puppy says:

    Golden or NTKTOK–Hope your dad is still doing well…Time at the zoo with our LORIS sounds like a plan!
    Always nice to hear from you…

  80. Totalee Puppy says:

    Loris–Voulez-vous
    CUDDLE avec moi ce soir? C’est si bon!!
    CUDDLE CUDDLE CUDDLE…
    CUDDLE CUDDLE CUDDLE!!

  81. elliottsmommy says:

    i think this baby was the inspiration for antonio banderas’ puss in boots character in shrek 2 & 3, when he turns those eyes on.

  82. momof2kitties says:

    Theo, you are demented. In the best of all possible ways.

  83. Laurita says:

  84. Hon Glad says:

    Because they are the Best. Animal. Ever.

    (*puts on a party hat and does the Happy Loris dance*)

  89. Totalee Puppy says:

  92. Fransouah says:

    Bébé Ewok

  93. Arokthis says:

    My fiancee saw this and squeaked. Seriously, folks. An honest-to-god SQUEAK!

  94. scooterpants says:

    arokthis-
    a lil WD40 will fix that ( if ya can find the origin of the mentioned ‘squeak-atude’.)
    otherwise you’ll just have to put up with it, it’ll proly get worse.
    prepare.

  95. Theresa V says:
