Why I Am Moving To Indonesia

A loyal reader and avid follower of this blog steered me to this little article (link in title). A mogwi-type primate that lives in Indonesia. Just look at this beautiful thing!

(Pygmy Tarsier)

How could something that beautiful be kept a secret for so long? Well maybe this is your answer: "According to Reuters, these nocturnal insectivores have not been seen alive since 1921. In 2000, scientists accidentally trapped and killed one in the Sulawesi highlands while trapping rats."

Whoops! It's tough to study something when you trap it and kill it. On the other hand I bet it tasted delicious!

These delightful, and probably tasty, creatures have been compared to Furbys and Gremlins but they are wayyyyyy cuter! Take a look for yourself!

Obviously the cutest one is the pygmy Tasier! That's some good eatin'!

Also, lower in the article was this little tid-bit:

"Indonesia was the site of another unusual find: the 2004 discovery of ancient bones and a skull belonging to hobbit-like 'little people,'"

So what they are telling me is that in Indonesia there are miniature primates AND miniature (not real)people there! When I win the $43 000 000 I might have to save a few bucks for a plane flight to Indonesia!
