We here at Zooillogix do not usually promote the work of other websites unless it is to mock the "guys" over at DeepSeaNews for getting aroused by images of Alvin, the submarine. The fact is that we believe animal readership on the internet is a zero sum game, and we're not about to lose readers to some "nerd" with a thing for taxonomy.
We must, however, doff our caps to Arkive, quite possibly the sweetest website on the whole world wide websphere. It has something to do with Sir David Attenborough and the English and blah blah blah. Take a looksy yourself at the 1,000,000+ pics/videos of the world's threatened species and tell us you aren't slightly aroused yourself.
Just a pic of of Madame Berthe's mouse lemur...no big deal.

In addition to watching and reading about college basketball, I play a fair amount of pick-up basketball these days-- I try to play three days a week at lunchtime, and most weeks I manage two. Often, the noon hoops game is the highlight of the day, and I suspect I don't want to think too deeply…
How does David Attenborough crawl through a marshy Cycad forest toward an exposed rocky ledge overlooking a vast plain of grazing dinosaurs, drawing ever closer to a nesting colony of Quetzalcoatlus Pterodactlyoids (known in the business as "Flying Giraffes") camera crew in tow, nearly out of…
ARKive is wonderful! The videos particularly. Where else can you get so thoroughly acquainted (in a completely platonic way, of course) with some of the world's rarest species? Just wish I had more time to explore it.
It gets a huge amount of funding from the Abu Dhabi Enviroment Agency too.
No big deal? It's the world's smallest primate! People, this is essentially a Hand-Held Monkey*!!!
* Yeah, I know, lemurs aren't monkeys. "Hand-Held Monkey" just sounds funnier and scans better than "Hand-Held Primate".
Thank you good sirs. You never fail to lead me astray.
