I had seen this before and it made me smile then, too. It is a Slow Loris, any one of three species of loris. These slow-moving primates range from Borneo, the Philippines,Southeast Asia, Indonesia, India, China and Thailand.
They are hunted for their large eyes, which are prized for local traditional medicine, leaving them on the endangered species list.
Hi Elenka, I'm trying to catch up, now that I am back to earth. Loved the pics of the shoes. What talented kids, and what a great idea. The post about Newagen caught my eye. When I was 5, my Dad was in the Coast Guard, and we lived at the Cuckold's Lighthouse in Newagen. Ever see it? Your breakfast got my attention too. :) Hugs, Kathleen
