Bush babies

Skepticus:


Meerkats do also, though occasionally. They are also in mongoose family and share typical mongoose traits of being naturally immune to venoms of certain snakes. Their blood vessels is built in a way that doesn't facilitate the spread of venom in the blood stream.

By the way, the animal up there is a Galagos, also, known as Bush baby, the big head and extremely large eyes gave it away. Mongooses and Meerkats don't have head that big and large eyes.

The Bush baby is also in the same family with lemurs (restricted only to Madagascar and is believed to have descended from Bush babies), Loris, the Potto or softly softly (Pottos are much slower).
... there's one more.. watched it on natgeo.. they become paralyzed after the bite like they just lay there and not move, but later on start moving..

I don't think it's a mongoose or meercat..
can't remember the name.. it's also immune to scorpions venom

What Animal Is This?

My kids caught this little animals when it fell down from a tree when they were playing... They wanted to rear it but they eventually died off 2 days later when they were bathing them grin grin grin (more like drowned them) as I could not kill it..

They looked soooo cute
Re: My Kids Caught These Little Animals That Fell Down From A Tree (Photos) by IAMPhoenix007(m): 8:50pm On Jan 14, 2020

They are not mouse lemurs. These are galagos

Lemurs are restricted to the islands in Madagascar.

However, lemurs are believed to be descended from Mainland African Bush babies.

ok

They are called meerkat, "Meerkats, being wild animals, make poor pets". Read they can be aggressive especially towards guest but will scent - mark their owner and their territory. All this from google bro

Why didnt your kids just put them back in the tree?

Why didn't you encourage your kids to put them back on the tree?

Until one day when dinosaurs or King Kong or even Godzilla come back...

You will be going about your normal life, one KingKong will just see you and carry you back home, then it will log onto KingKong nairaland and be asking his mates "i caught this strange bushmeat, do you know what it is"?

KingKong's children will tie rope on your waist and be feeding you grass because they dont know what you usually eat... You will be wondering who you offended and why you were taken away from your normal existence

Let us learn to respect nature and all species

grin grin grin ;DI don die of laugh ooh...Dude WTF

back in the days then in aba, bush baby was a terror. was acclaimed that witchikers transform to them at night. they come to ur window and cry like a baby attracting ur empathy. by the time you go out to look, they retransform and devour their victim. was real terror back then that wen we caught one at fgc ikot ekpene, we showed it no mercy. but now i know better.

Nigeria get myth like die. The Bush baby they're talking cries in the night to attract some motherfurkers. And boom they're fuckeddd. They cut the testicle of man. Fry it and give it to their main boss. Probably sodomize the person. Then they use the skin of the man for their mat, bed and stuff, anyone who gets the mat will be rich but u must return the mat at on point. Failure to do so, the person will turn into a Bush baby also
