I have always loved National Geographic (both the magazine and TV program), especially the animal and nature stories, so this article (and the accompanying photo) caught my eye- by the way, the description is mine:
Scary, yet cute in a weird way…
It’s amazing, some of the things you see in nature. 
That is pretty sweet! Kinda looks like the chinchilla from the BBB movie doesn’t it? Just a little more evil… I never knew these guys existed though.
Think we haven’t discovered all land creatures, wonder what beasts dwell in the depth of the ocean…I have heard that we have only discovered 5% or something of the ocean floor. What if there exists another intelligent alien species in the depth of the ocean that can’t live on the surface…it’s not impossible…
It looks cute, and it sure is tiny.
You know there’s big discoveries to be made when you recently find 300,000 gorillas and a new species of big cat.
That is so cute! thanks for posting.
BTW be careful linking to national G. They show native people semi-nude, and in some countries it is considered offensive to view humans in their natural environment.
It looks like a furbi!
Amazing what we have yet to learn after so long! Great find Moonflower!
@Dudebot13: Yeah, it does kind of look like that chinchilla except the chinchilla had a slightly “duh” expression also.
@-[Killer]-:It does look like a Furby also! Man, I hate those stupid things!
Yes, Furbys scare me to death. My sister had a possessed one. It wouldn’t stop talking around 3:00 am. So she took the batteries out… turns out it still talked at 3:00 am… so she dropped it down the steps… it still worked. I’m not sure what ever happenned to that guy =/
I agree about those Furbys… I tested one at the store and it kept saying, “You, me, friends?” and I said, “Nah” then it said, “Yay!”. Then it said, “You happy see me?” so I said, “Nah” and it giggled. But if I answered, “No” it’s response would be, “Uh oh” and “Phhhht”. So I didn’t bother.
Just for comparison:
