This Adorable Animal Loves To Be Tickled; Is Still Poisonous

thumbnail icon: This Adorable Animal Loves To Be Tickled; Is Still Poisonous

It's been nearly ten months since it was announced that the Pygmy Slow Loris is the most adorable fucking animal ever invented by intelligent design, and this weekend the internet collectively sighed "awww" and freaked out over this one getting tickled. You have to see, and enjoy, and then the bad news AGAIN:

They release poison from their adorable elbows and then they lick it and then they bite you and then you swell! I don't know why either! Probably because man first sinned. At least we can enjoy other people's slow lorises on YouTube while those people can still make them, before they swell up and die. Yay!

Dude, it's cool, I swell up all the time. And according to the fine "physicians" at wikipedia, you probs won't die. WORTH IT.

zaws!

the big problem here is how do stop tickling it? i mean, look how FUCKINGAWESOME he's while they're at it, and then how sad he looks when they stop, with those big, souldestroying eyes. i would spend days tickling him non-stop in fear of disappointing him.

Maybe THAT's what happened to Matthew Perry's hand! (Um, synergy.)

The fact that this animal is poisonous is proof to me that there is no god. That's like making poisonous candy and giving it out on halloween. A righteous god doesn't do that, a crazy meth addict with issues about there childhood does that.

you're assuming a righteous god, but what about a crazy meth addict god with issues about it's childhood?

seriously? it doesn't look to me like he would ever poison-bite the proverbial hand that tickles. poison bites are surely reserved for things that like to eat slow lorises and jerks.

It's impossible to stop tickling somethings that makes that face. Impossible!

I actually tried to tickle the screen then the person in the video stopped tickling it just because it looked so sad.

Can we please domesticate these? Swelling and redness seems like such a small price to pay.

I like to think that the male voice sounds are coming from the Slow Loris, especially at the end when he gets so excited.

This makes me sad. It is cute and adorable and all that, but hundreds of slow lorises had to die (thats cuteness x 100 if not more) for that person to have her slow loris as a pet. Please don't get one as a pet orand allow this cruel torture and deaths to continue.
