Mouse Lemur is teh CUTE!!!!!!!! It really didn't seem too upset that it was caught and handled. I sure hope those folks' hands were clean-- it's really not good to handle delicate wild creatures with bare hands, as zoonoses can be transferred easily from humans to animals, and vice versa.

I was always under the impression that the Pygmy Marmoset is the smallest primate. You learn something new everyday!

A little known fact about marmosets-- they are the only known primates to exhibit germline chimerism (sperm and eggs do not carry the same DNA as the animal's structural cells).
