I Was Leap Leap Leaping Along...


Lemurs are exciting creatures.

I saw three of them today at the Nashville zoo do really bizarre things. Including sit together in a circle and pose in strangely Buddha-like positions. The Lemur pictured above is one of the 3.

He approached when we came up to his habitat at the Zoo. I've decided to call him Elijah.

My friend Will has noted on many occasions that monkeys are "like the little catmen". And lemme tell you, world, Lemurs are DEFINITELY like little catmen. Just check out Elijah up thurr. He is a small cat-man, no?

Oh, you wanna know what's truly freaky (but fascinating) about Lemurs? Their hands are like human hands. No seriously. They move their small hands and use them to manipulate objects just like I would.

  1. You know, Nick, it could be that you have GIGANTIC LEMUR HANDS. I bet you never thought of that.
