    Goatimundi was confused with a member of Kid Creole and the Coconuts.

    How many lorikeet walkthrough exhibits called 'Lorikeet Landing' are there? Is there some sort of unspoken pact that all lorikeet walkthroughs must be given this name? Is it some kind of a cult?

    It's probably less confusing than Lory Park and easier to say than Red Lory, Yellow Lory.

    Maybe there's a global conspiracy run by a shadowy organisation to keep those more interesting lories from us. a kind of...illoriminati.

    While googling various Cercopithecus species, I came across a very....interesting image that seems to show a Hamlyn's monkey with VERY oversized, very unnerving eyes- It's one of the first images that comes up when you search for 'Hamlyn's Monkey' on google images. can anyone confirm; Is it photoshop, or is the primate that will inevitably now haunt my nightmares actually real?

    It seems I forgot to attach the image to my post, but that is indeed the one.
