Amusements

I have a new fascination -- with the loris.

If you're not sure what a loris is, look it up on the computer (or keep reading, of course). This weekend, at the St. Louis Science Center, I viewed the skeleton of a loris, and since then, I've been enamored.

And if you don't know why, then let me show you something. I mean, look at this picture of the slow loris (borrowed from Parade):


It's the eyes, people. THE EYES! And imagine those eyes without all the fur and skin. If you do, the slow loris skeleton looks a little like this (courtesy Flickr and Kevin Walsh):


Which, to a woman who loves skeletons, is a dream come true. Plus, I can't help giggling about those orbital bones.
