Uniben
You are a disgrace to the school i graduated from. A useless being!
Killing animals in a tertiary school known for quality and you are a student of such a school shows you dont deserve to be in that school.
Lalasticlala and Nairaland are encouraging the destruction of Nigeria Fauna community, this is No longer a joke and Seun has to stop encouraging this barbaric act on nairaland. Such post should be deleted

It is a Calabar angwantibo. It is not a potto because potto stays in very tall trees and have shorter fingers. It stays on top of trees and will head butt you with its Nyash if you try to catch it

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabar_angwantibo

It still a specie of potto read d profile through

I don laff tire for this thread cheesy cheesy cheesy Read till page 4 and my belle wan burst.

But honestly Ive learnt alot tonight. Different names mentioned and I googled everything. Most of them really look alike and I was confused. Like sloth, and the likes mentioned. Sloth has long claws.


However, I believe it's a Potto, after looking at the palm. The palm of the animal Op killed looks kinda human, same with the palm of a Potto.

But mehn, I don laugh tire, from Porcupine to Polar Bear to Koala to Bush Baby! Una no go kill person. cheesy

Modified: I actually read till page 10. Now I can go to bed! Choiiii!!! cool

OPKE, you call yourself an undergraduate? You haven't seen it before, so to satisfy curiousity.........YOU KILLED IT. shame on Nigerian future leaders. We are all together destroying Nigeria. Our leaders damage the economy the followers damage her wild life and eco system.

Blame lalasticlala and his oga at the top.

Every kill must be celebrated with a frontpage.

Same question I was asking when it was caught by some village hunters I think around June last yr in my village at enugu. The funny thing about the animal is how it holds any stick you bring near it with its almost perfect palm. It s features are well adapted for climbing and it can hardly run faster on the ground. I would have posted it's picture if I had not lost phone that I used to snap the strange creature then.
As to the. name one man identified it as 'ikiri' (Igbo name) and by its behaviour i remembered a popular Igbo proverb that says that 'ikiri was caught by a snare and his kinsmen were pitying him but he told them not to bother as the snare holds him the same way he does'
I am happy because then I felt that that one could be the last species of the animal. By this one it means their population still abound
Though I think there should be parks in Nigeria where anyone who catches these strange species of animal is to bring it for a handsome reward.
I hope u didn't eat it sha.

No be small grin grin

Yes, O believe those animal killers should be shamed instead of promoted to front page. The only kill allowed ishould be snakes that invade homes. If you see am for bush, leave am alone. Haba! I hope Buhari learns wild life conservation in London before he returns home. He needs to teach his people to learn to protect wild life.

Something dey worry you. Who caused the extinction of most wild life with their hunting parties and assault rifle. Where an African village will kill one lion in 5 years and give the hunter chieftaincy, the white man came and killed dozens in a year and decorated his office with their skins.
