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).
You dumb ass scientists, do you realize that they were doing just fine (even though you thought they were gone) until YOU nutbags found them again? Now they need protection from you because you found them.
Idiots.
How many other species are like this? Not really extinct but we think so. Probably a lot more than we realize.
