Until now, scientists had not seen a pygmy tarsier alive since 1921. Scientists used nets to trap two male and one female mouse-sized pygmy tarsier in order to place radio collars around their necks to track their movements. These cute, furry, nocturnal creatures weigh just 2 ounces (50 grams), and have been described as looking a lot like Gremlins. Source: foxnews   Via: news.yahoo
