All I want for Christmas is...

this little guy:



It's a tube-nosed bat, recently discovered in New Guinea. You can read about him here.

Have you ever seen anything so freakishly, fiendishly cute?

(Well, maybe here).

If he could live with me, I would rock him to sleep every night, er, morning, with a lullaby. I'd swing him on the swings at the park, and feed him pineapple bits with a toothpick.

Love.
