Afarensis is a 3.5-2.8 million year old hominin from the Kada Hadar member of the Hadar formation in the Middle Awash, Ethiopia. He is approximately 41 inches tall, weighs approximately 60 pounds and has a cranial capacity of a whopping 410 cc (approximately). Afarensis is currently considered to be transitional between apes and humans and displays some traits of both. Since he spends a lot of time on the couch watching monster movies, some observers question whether he is an obligate biped (although no one has observed him climbing a tree). He also has a blog called 
Order: Primates
Family: Loridae
Genus: Perodicticus
Species: Perodicticus potto
The potto is the larger of the two African lorises. It ranges from Liberia to Kenya, residing in primary and secondary forests. Their diet consists of gums, fruits, insects and small vertebrates. Males and females live in separate, but overlapping, home ranges. They are nocturnal.
Like other strepsirhines, the potto has a dental tooth comb and a grooming claw on the second digit.
Unlike some other prosimians, the potto has a tympanic ring that is fused to the lateral wall rather than being fused (I couldn't find a good picture to illustrate this). While galagos are vertical clingers and leapers, the potto is a slow climber. Below is a picture of a potto skeleton.
