So, Tell Me About Yourself…

Really? You don’t say? Well, I’ll be, isn’t that interesting! How many penguins, did you say? Goodness, that’s a lot! And on a unicycle, no less! Mercy! But isn’t that illegal? Ah, I see… so is there a lot of money in that sort of thing? Gracious, I had no idea!

    It IS a lemur. Specifically, the Coqurel’s Sifaka. Also known as “The Zoboomafoo Lemur.”

    Reminds me of the guy from “Inside the Actor’s Studio”. Unfortunately, said guy’s name escapes me at the moment, or I would look for a pic for comparison.

  15. Lovely luscious listening lemur.

  16. Also Beep… Because it is way more fun to beep a pensive nose.

    Best. Privacy. Tailio. Ever.

    • Karla Borecky says:

      It is fantastic. But then again, lemurs have the best tailios (with the possible exception of some monkeys)
