I would agree wirg pawrick - looks kinda like a bush baby - so I would say its a type of primate. Very cute!

It's a loris for sure. which exact species i'm not certain but i'd guess Nycticebus Bengalensis. I think it's sad when wild animals like these are taken in as pets.

They are prosimians, groups of primates that are "more primitive" then apes and monkeys. Relatives include lemurs, ayeayes, pottos and tarsiers.

Lovely big eyes and dexterous hands.

Thanks guys. Have to tell the GF now, she said she wanted one after I showed her the video.

I told her I would never keep a primate as a pet, so this little Mogwai can be rulled out.

Especially when you find out how some of them are sourced.

They do not make ideal pets.

They are endangered and do not breed well in captivity. Mothers are killed for their babies and often the babies teeth are pulled out to make them look younger. They have a strong grip so when pulled roughly out of cages broken bones can ensue.

They mark their territory with urine and can't be trained out of it. For some reason people want them as pets.

YOURFACE!

that little fella is the cutest thing I have ever seen! I want to itch his belly!!!!
