Ten Reasons I Gotta Have One!

I came upon a video on Myspace, showing a sloth-like animal climbing and walking. It was so adorable, I thought: there's no way this thing is REAL! Luckily, I was wrong. The creature I stumbled upon was a Loris, a slow [really slow] moving primate. Below are ten reasons I gotta have one, along with a cute video so you can want one as well.



1) Okay, look at those eyes. They're gigantic. It reminds me of the guinea pig on Bedtime Stories.

2) They're so slowwwwwwwwww. Which means that I can catch up to it if he/she tries to run away. Not that it will, because I'll be their best frand. <3

3) Look at the way this one eats fruit. Awwww. It even licks its fingers. Precious.

4) While Paris Hilton is carrying around an unoriginal Chihuahua [not that he isn't adorable] I'll be packing a Loris in my purse on the red carpet. Not that I would ever exploit him or anything.

5) I will not stop talking about the eyes of a Loris until one shows up in my house. Ever.

6) They're compact. Honestly, Lori or Lorises or whatever the plural is, they're just so small. Even when they're adults, they're just the size of a large-ish cat.

7) They're curious creatures. Every video I've seen of one, the Loris interacts with objects around him, looks at the camera, as if asking, What is this? I like it.

8) I swear I will even MOVE TO THE COUNTRY THEY ARE FROM just to have one.

9) They're so ferocious [I say that as if I'm talking to a baby, you know what I mean.]



10) I spend about an hour looking up information about them. And watching youtube videos. And posting blogs about how cute they are and how much I want one.

So, if anyone knows where I can buy one, approximately how much they cost [I'll pay ANYTHING. I will cut off my own ear just to have one, honest!] please please please reply to this post. They're sooooooo cute I'm gonna have a cute-attack from them.
