Norwegian newspaper has this video clip of a little, hairy monkey from the Yunnan province that made its way into a home.
The house owner knew it belongs to an rare, endangered species, nycticebus coucang, and called the authorities.
Meanwhile, the little fellow is sedately exploring his new environment (a bit unsuccessfully at times), until he will be transferred into the wilds again:

Heh... what turbo-1 said...

Child-like traits, big eyes, a wide forehead... are attractive to men, and engender sympathy and love from women. Makes sense I guess, and explains why women retain those feature.

Kate Moss... I don't think I've ever mentioned her.

She looks like an animated hooker, with that dead stare.

Ewww... I can see her hips articulate too...

Now the Deschanel sisters... they're hot natural ectomorphs.
