YUCK!
That has to be the nastiest looking fish.
Maybe if it didn't look like it's skin had been peeled off to reveal the bloody raw puss mess below it would be cuter... but.. just yuck.
And those blue lobsters are awesome! I want one!

Slender Loris
This Small, slim primate moves with great deliberation, gripping twigs with all 4 feet - until it suddenly smells, sees, and with its front legs snatches a small creature such as an insect or lizard. It also eats soft leaves, and buds, fruits, and birds' eggs. By day, the slender loris curls up in a tree hole, dense leaf nest, or similar secure place.
Proboscis monkey
Among the most specialized and distinctive of mammals, the proboscis monkey occupies very restricted habitats near water in lowland rainforest, mangrove swamps, and coasts on the island of Borneo. The average troop is one male with 6-10 females and their young. The male defends his group, honks loudly, bares his teeth at agressors.
Pangolin
Simmilar in shape to armadillos and anteaters, pangolins are covered in overlapping scales, which act as armor and camouflage. Pangolins lack teet; prey (ants and termites) is collected with the tongue and powerful muscles in the stomach "chew" the food. Pangolins are found in southern Asia and Africa.
Maned Wolf
African Wild Dog
Maybe those two aren't so weird sounding; but they're both fascinating. Especially the Wild Dogs social structure. And they're both becoming increasingly rare.
Maned wolves are a lower risk species, and Wild Dogs are endangered.
Fossa
Resembling a diminutive brown "big cat", the fossa is lithe, agile and an excellent leaper and climber. Madagascars largest carnivore, this muscular, powerful predator hunts by day or night, using the stalk-and-pounce mtehod. It originally specialized in hunting lemurs but now also takes pigs, poultry, and other domesticated animals.
Binturong
The Binturong has shaggy black fur and tufted ears. Its tail is long-haired and prehensile at the tip. It moves slowly and cautiously among branches in search of fruits, shoots and small animals. By day it curls up on a secluded branch to rest, but may continue to feed.

The Falanouc.
It lives in Madagascar, and is severely endangered. Beautiful creatures; but I can't find good pictures of them.
Pallas Tube-nosed bat
I have more... but i'm too lazy to post them (oiy!)

Your loris made me think of the aye aye.
Some of the natives of Madagascar (the only place where aye ayes are found) say it's bad luck if an aye aye points its longest finger at you. Or something like that. I can't quite remember.

Some of the natives also kill them because they bring bad luck.
They were thought to be extinct for quite awhile... until they started finding pockets of their populations.

They're amazing creatures Chrome.
You should try to find a clip of them running. They look so cool! Almost like the way a giraffe runs, just that amazing lolloping feeling.

Reminds me of that show on the discovery channel (or one of them discovery channels) called The Future is Wild and at the end of it they had these octopus/squid-monkeys that swung from trees and were the supposed-might-be precursors to a future sapient primate-like creature. Sounded kind of silly at the time but now...

People just kill aye-ayes on sight because of the bad luck dont they?

They start off cute, I wouldn't mine owning one if they stayed like that though. A full grown one looks like this:

If I could have any pet... i'd have a giraffe.
They're actually super friendly; same with Okapis. They become quite hand tame, and you can take them on walks.
Frankly.
I want to ride a giraffe. What a rush that would be. (Though painful! My goodness look at their spines!)
