BTW: If any of you find a place to purchase (legally) a slender loris, drop me a line. I live too close to a major highway for a dog (and refuse to chain one up, even for its’ own protection), and cats annoy my birds.

Looks like the little guy would be easy to hide, too. Make him ideal considering I live with a somewhat zoophobic Irishwoman.

Thanks!

Ransom musta been thinking of the “Golden Fleece” – Jason & Co. off to Thrace for a summer of rape, pillage, and other school-boy hijinks.

I think Jason called his gang/crew “The Argonauts”. Heracles and Theseus were some of them…

Interesting how folk heroes get to time travel. Robert Graves’ “White Goddess” explored some of this, as did Robert Campbell (“The Hero With a Thousand Faces” and other writings). These scholars are both SORELY missed!

Not to split hairs, but the Golden Ass was written by Apuleius in the second century. It was written in Latin by a Roman. Therefore, it is the Golden Ass from ROMAN lore…not Greek.

I’ll have to visit the website for the London Zoological Society to get more information.

Several of these animals seem to be bite-size. I wonder if they have any recipes, too.

In fact, with some lorises and a couple of bats fried up, it would be just like Chex party mix!!

I KNOW THAT TECHNICALLY IT MIGHT BE ILLEGAL TO OWN A “SLENDER LORIS” OR THAT COOL TINY PRIMATE. HOWEVER, MAND MY DAUGHTERS, ESPECIALLY HERS, CURIOUSITY ASKS, CAN YOU OWN ONE OR PURCHASE ON, WOULD IT BE OK IN OUR ENVIRONMENT??

I am sorry that this list does not include the Western (Australian) flossing bat.
Roughly the size of a laboratory mouse,it can not only fly great distances but also use the edges of its wings to dislodge fruit pulp from between its teeth.

I only see four little guys in pics. Where are the rest of the twelve?

This is extremely interesting.
