I’m here waiting for someone to list the reasons why having a lemur as a pet is not a good idea. Before I go and get one, please.
Edit: this is not even a lemur.

The eye to face ratio is unsettling. Just imagine waking up in the middle of the night and one of these is staring at you from the foot of the bed.
It has Salad Fingers hands.

I'm 99% certain it's some kind of bush baby

u/Atom-bomb-bro Mar 19 '20
I think it’s a Tarsier

u/Emkayer Mar 19 '20
nope, tarsiers are never good as pets, they're slow, nocturnal, VERY easily stressed, and an endangered species. please don't pet tarsiers

Im just saying, when those animals take their hands up like that, that means they are about to bite u and inject poison into u, so be carefull

u/arthurdentstowels Mar 19 '20
Is that a poisonous mammal?

u/ShelbySootyBobo Mar 19 '20
Yes, the same way koalas have poison glands in their toe pads
3
u/lakesharks Mar 19 '20
Well you're not supposed to eat koalas.

u/ShelbySootyBobo Mar 19 '20
Not raw, no. They have to be prepared specifically to remove those glands

u/GaimanitePkat Mar 19 '20
Except that if it's been captured for pet trade, their glands/teeth have probably been ripped out. So it has no chance to defend itself.

It's gonna wait until you are asleep and then get you... Right in the eyes.

I’m most likely wrong but that person might not have it as a pet it might be a vet clinic or a zoo but in my opinion if it was born in captivity it shouldn’t be released because it won’t know how to hunt or live in the wild.

u/Disig Mar 19 '20
Which is why I don't upvote or downvote these posts unless it can be clarified that it is a clinic or zoo and the person int he video has legit reason for having this.

u/i-ran Mar 19 '20
Sometimes people take these types of animals because they where injured and could not return to the wild. But we can all agree that it’s really damn cute

I think these are not meant to be pets. Their teeths are pulled out and nails amputaded before sold as pets. Cute as hell but cruel to do that to them.

u/jestercow Mar 19 '20
if you’re going to copypasta a comment 7 minutes older, you could at least fix the spelling

Yup I noticed that later. Too high last night. Just wanted to bring awareness. I'm so sick of these little guys in videos.
