This one-day-old baby Capuchin monkeh is all:

"It is ENTIRELY too bright out here! Turn out the lights! Get me a sleep mask, SOMETHING! OMG PEOPLE!"

All right, ladies!  The Yuletide season is upon us, and that means plenty of holiday parties with cute guys, dark hallways — and lots and lots of mistletoe!  Keep your lips lively this Christmas with these time-honored mistle-tips:

• Be casual.  Don’t stand directly under the mistletoe; that looks desperate.  Stand just enough to one side so that you look like you just happen to be there.
• Adopt a mysterious, far-away gaze, as if you were standing alone on a moonlit shore, yearning for your lover on the far horizon.
• Purse your lips ever so slightly — not too much to be obvious, but enough to encourage him to make that first move.

We got the same two-toned haircut.

Sing it with us now;

Marmoset there’d be days like this

There’ll be days like this marmoset

Marmoset, marmoset!

Marmoset there’ll be days like this,

there’ll be days like this marmoset

I went walking the other day

everything was going fine

I met a little boy (turtle) named Billie Joe

and I almost lost my mind! [repeat chorus]

In this episode of "Dispute the Cute" we take a look at the newly rediscovered tiny primate; the Pygmy Tarsier.
Let’s break it down:

Top 3 Pros
Suction-cup hands
Miniscule earses
Overall pocket-pet size

Top 3 Cons
We’re talking some seriously bulbous eye action
alien-esque eye-to-schnozzle ratio
Appears to be nocturnal which means he could bite your nose clean off after dark

Way to rock the pointer-outering, Katheryn M. and NTMTOM!

THIS JUST IN! a mini-monkitude is caught nomming fruit.

Also just in, his eyes are too close together. If they get any closer, we’re gonna have to up the alert to red. RED, PEOPLE!

Janis R., thank you for bringing this to our atten-shons.

Relax, young apprentice.  Clear your mind of worldly cares.  Listen to the soothing wind chimes as you earth the energy within your body and become one with the environment around you.  Concentrate on the banana.  Feel your life energy reach out to it, lifting it off the ground … yesssss, that’s it … goooood …
