Roughly how big (or small) is this thing?

Jeff · 1st October 2006

my guess is a flying lemur

hiker · 2nd October 2006

tks so much for ur help guys,
budak, it's about 1 feet tall (i guess), can compare with the plants/ leaves
shown beside it. Wanted to stay a little longer( till evening) to see if it moves,
but have to go attend wedding dinner..

so bye...

Jeff, i have seen many lemurs before, but this fellow looks really weird,
its sleeping with its head hiden out of sight.., never seen one like this before..
here's a lemur pic to compare..

Could be a sleeping slow loris, unless it's an aberrant (xanthic?) colugo.

tks budak,
went back to same area today, but couldn't find it.

haven seen a wild slow loris before, yet couldn't be sure
with this photo. just have to try harder..

cheers.
