I wonder how many of these animals were in mid-hump when they got their picture taken (I’m talking to YOU, Horny-Little-Monkey-Straddling-A-Tiger.)

Yup, it’s exactly what it sounds like…a baby monkey riding backwards piggyback…on a pig.  I love the internet.

I know what you’re thinking: “John, remember a few months ago how obsessed you were with turtles? What happened? Are you over turtles now? What did they ever do to you?”

I’ll admit, it’s been a while since turtles have made an appearance on this blog…but that doesn’t mean I’ve neglected my little reptilian friends.  And speaking of little, this might be the world’s tiniest turtle ever.  Wow.

Move over turtles and sloths, there’s a new cute animal in town.  It’s the Pygmy Marmoset, the tiniest monkey on the planet, ranging from 5.5 to 6.3 inches in height, and weighing only 4.2 to 4.9 ounces.

If you want one of these little dudes for your very own, here’s some info on how to care for them.  The site says “pet Pygmy Marmoset Monkeys are also known to throw feces, to attack, and to bite their owners”.  Amazing!  Just like real human brats, minus the exorbitant college tuition costs.
