Lemurs – Although there are around 110 species I’ll lump them all together. Unique, fascinating and now in great danger of extinction.
Gibbons – My ‘soul’ animal. I don’t think I’ve ever been as happy as I have waking up to their singing in Asia.
Slow lorises – Too cute for their own good. I did a half-marathon a couple of years ago to raise money and promote awareness: http://runlorisrun.wordpress.com/
Red pandas – I have formed a cult if anyone fancies joining: http://theredpandacult.blogspot.co.uk/
Pretty much all primates – woolly monkeys, macaques, galagos, capuchins, langurs, orangutans, vervets, I really don’t care.
I’d also like to mention pangolins as too few people know about their plight. Google them, they’re murdered by the thousands as their scales supposedly have restorative qualities. There is nothing I hate more than the ‘traditional medicine’ market.
In an ideal world I’d work with primates. I did the wrong thing at uni so I’m making up for lost time currently by volunteering with lemurs, that even means missing most Charlton games for the time being!5 -

very interesting (newbie), that you mention our closest (non-humyn) relative, the delightful bonobo. fun-loving, peaceful, tropical rainforest dwelling, calm, agile, sun-guided, loving, tactile, sexy, frugivore, small communal tribe member - all of the shared biologically adapted characteristics that many modern industrialized humanoids sadly, seem to have forgotten...thenewbie said:Otter

The Bonobo is a lover...The chimpanzee, more of a fighter.
They probaly share almost the exact same DNA, but they are different.1 -

Bizarrely, as I read your post I was listening to Graham Parker song ''High Horse'' with the following verse;RedPanda said:

''Now don't sweat the rhino
With his horn up high
Or the pangolin or the tsetse fly
Ignore the marabou stork
And the laughing hyena
The scorpion and the
Ring-tailed lemur
Yeah there's one creature
Much worse of course
Yeah the baddest one
She is the high horse''

In that film the bonobo chimp called Kobo is far more agressive than Caeser the chimpanzee.
They portray the exact opposite of the real life characteristics.0
