Xenmate requested that I post on the tarsier. Fair enough, challenge accepted. Behold one of the smallest primates in the world. Adults come in at less than 6 inches and under 6 ounces. Truly tiny. Those huge eyes and long fingers make them good insect hunters (the world needs more of those, that's for sure).
As always seems to be the case with third-world animals, the tarsier is in danger of extiction, due to loss of habitat and being caught for pets.

OMG! How could you call this ugly? It's sooooooooooo cute! It's teeny with a little fat face and big eyes-its like a real life Care Bear!
An evil, ugly care bear.
Awwww... that tarsier is soooo cute. This is the first time I've ever disagreed with ugly overload. What sort of game are you playing at, Raging Wombat?
I do my best, laboring daily, to bring you, the people, the finest, ugliest animals the web has to offer. That is my game!
