It may look like a gremlin, but this tiny animal is actually a pygmy tarsier, recently rediscovered in the forests of Indonesia.
The 2-ounce (57-gram) carnivorous primate had not been seen alive since the 1920s.
That was until researchers on a summer expedition captured, tagged, and released three members of the species (including this individual, above).

How cheap will they work? And do they taste like chicken?

I thought this was about a rare community of pygmies armed with tazers.

There was a navy fighter squadron called the tarsiers. There unofficial motto was “Pound for pound the tarsier is the most vicious animal on the planet.”

I wonder what species of primate does that freaky looking “hand” belong to that is holding that poor little tarsier baby? Looks like one of the mysterious "carrot people" of south Borneo. ;)
