Why the Japanese Really Cannot Meet Their Global Warming Goals – Ring Tailed Lemurs
There’s another reason why Japan cannot meet his global warming goals, reducing its carbon footprint and so on.
Electric heaters….outside…to keep the Ring Tailed Lemurs warm… at the Japan Monkey Center in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture.
Outside? Electric? And, if it rains?
The Lemurs come from Madagascar.

I don’t care if they’re screwing up Japan’s carbon footprint. Every time I see a lemur I want to steal it and bring it home with me. Look how they’re all snuggling up to the heater. They are so cute. They’re like people and cats rolled into one.

LOL, for as long as I can remember, I’ve had almost violent reactions to seeing lemurs. They are, to me, one of the scariest animals on the planet. I have no idea why. Man, I can’t even look at that picture again, haha.

Out of context: blog bias.
Nice picture though, makes me feel warm inside and out.
