a must have pet

I am surprised no one has mentioned what a cool leather pouch it would make

From his expression, the person holding him is trying to use him for a pencil case now

Your very own late Douglas Adams went on an expedition to document these critters, among other things. "Last Chance to See" is the name of the book, if you ever get a chance to read it I recommend it.

Yeah, a very good book, I bought a copy of it years ago and with Douglas Adams descriptive powers and humour it is a book that brings a smile to your face despite covering quite a serious subject.

It's called an Aye-aye! hehe

The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out.

Looks like some sort of weird movie charater, like a gremlin...

Hmmm! Spill-over from another thread methinks - just what kind of "pouch" did you have in mind there

Looking at it again it reminds me of something from Star Wars
