he seems to be having a lot of trouble with chimps and humans.
watch his head explode.
this is a tarsier. he's a primate.
two eyes. a nose with two nostrils. a mouth with different kinds of teeth including canines and incisors. ears on the sides of his head, not the top. opposable thumbs. a spine. elbows that bend in. knees that bend back. a tail bone (very scant tail though). hair. mammary glands. damn cute, too.
this is a ring-tailed lemur. ever watch zoobomafoo? he's a primate too.
these are both primitive primates. they're most likely the type of critters larger primates developped from. how do we decide this? we look at similar characteristics and genes and decide that more similar things branched away from the common ancestor later than less similar things. ever see a phylogenetic tree? here's the one for primates
