I do not find them amazing, I find them wrong. Begin the extinction process.

I actually really want some rabbits like that one. I want to learn to spin their wool and make my own yarn. (I'm taking a class on it in a couple weeks) They are very soft and cuddly

Theognome | Yes, but maybe less cuddly than the rabbit! | Tons of room to hide a weapon in all that fur. Better shoot it just to be safe.
It's kind of the same situation where there's a city full of zombies and an outbreak of the flu at the same time. It's difficult to tell the zombies from the flu patients, so you just take 'em all out.

I don't think any of them are ugly--they are fascinating! God's creation is beautiful--and to think that we've only experienced the cursed and marred planet! I can't imagine what we will see in eternity.

Bill,
The Aye-Aye was just plain scary and the poor White Faced Saki Monkey looked sad. I'm glad that you didn't get some mods and admins pix too for your hall of weird! You know the ones: Bald-headed Retirement Home Dufus (blurry eyed from counting bed sores and spending too many hours with attorneys who seem to charge by the minute), Perpetually Exhausted Harvard Law Ingénue (worn out from confusing fact patterns in that Crim Law case, dealing with Tribe's notions of positive law and the living constitution, and trying to work through the much more stultifying arcana of pro-EP, con-EP on the PB), Dorky mad physicist with encyclopedic knowledge of Reformed theology (when does he get time to keep up in his discipline???), hillbilly "Doppelgänger" of an even weirder and more bucolic cousin named Josh . . . etc.
Yikes! I'll take my chances with an Aye-aye any time!
