Default World's Wierdest Animals Face Extinction

This is a link to a gallery that goes with an article called 'World's Wierdest Animals Face Extinction'.

The loris is sooooooooooooooo tiny and so very cute too
It's a shame their habitat is being destroyed and that they are hunted to use for medicines

awwww poor little guy!

It is very cute! Makes me wonder what the heck kind of medicine you can make out of such a tiny little animal. You would have to grind up 10 of those poor little guys to even feed my mothers cat

It's very cute. I'm sure habitat destruction is worst than the medicinal use the organism. It's sort of how they blame people for collecting orchids to cause them to be endangered when it's really mostly habitat destruction. (okay I know there are some plants that are overly poached)

It looks like very old strange human to me. A bit scary.... I've never seen this creature before.

Yes, you are right. I thought to write Mongolian, but something stopped me.
