Sayyyyy AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

All these while I thought this was a Lemur ... I was wrong.

I captured this image a few years ago at the Kuala Lumpur Zoo and mistook it as a Lemur. Recently I came across a photo of this critter on the net while browsing, and only then learn that this is a Slow Loris. The Malay name is Kongkang.

The moment I saw this animal on a branch of a tree, it reminded me of King Julian (the Lemur king) in Madagascar, the animated movie. This somehow made me believe this tree creature is a Lemur and told my kids so. I taught my children the wrong thing .... Blahhhh! ... Well, at least I got the part where the slow loris belongs in the primate category and a distant cousins to the monkey correct. :D

Now, to put on some thick make-up to hide my red face, admit my mistake and let my children know the truth ... this is not a Lemur ... this is a Slow Loris.

Euphy's posting (a color against another color kind of photo) made me want to post this up .... shot only yesterday at the KL Bird Park.

This shot was taken at the zoo.
I try to compose so that the animals would not look like they are in zoo or in captivity..
