Everyone should know about Gremlins. They are those little furry creatures that if you get them wet, they multiply and if you feed them after midnight, they turn pretty evil.
Well I cannot say for sure that the food and water part are real, but apparently a Gremlin, mouse-sized primate called a Pygmy Tarsier, has been found alive for the first time in 85 years.
Hiding in the mountaintops of a cloud forest in Indonesia, these little Gremlins weigh about 2 ounces, have large eyes, claws instead of fingernails, and are covered in fur to keep warm in the damp and cool environment.
Last seen in 1921, the Gremlins were thought to be extinct until this recent discovery.
We only hope the Indonesians will keep them out of the sun, dry, and avoid feeding them after midnight.

Hello! I think you’ve a mistake. Gremlins are the transformation of the Mogwais. So, i guess that you should maybe rename the title of your article.
See you!

I have first time listining about this Gremlins
sgsa
these creatures are not extinct.. they have lots of them in bohol, philippines…

PYGMY Tarsier – I’m not a specialist, but I presume there are several species of tarsiers, some probably common. I know the similar African animal bushbaby is very common (well again there are several species of bushbabies).

Yep lots o’ them where they came from ( bohol, philippines). And we call them Tarsier.
facepalm
you sir are an idiot. its not a gremlin and your article even points that out. “a Gremlin, mouse-sized primate called a Pygmy Tarsier,” thats right its not a gremlin its a pygmy tarsier.
SubLiminate
ummm…I would say the idiot is the one unable to identify satire.

Exactly
Zoidberg
Haha! Who’s the popular one now?

idiot … strong words for someone who doesn’t get sarcasm.
Besides, would you really have clicked this story from digg if it was named “Pygmy Tarsier found” Gremlin! that’s better clickbait.
Davin Peterson
I hope they won’t turn into monsters like in the movie

Imagine how soft a fur coat would be…

pygmy tarsier is the scientific name for the animal. Its still a gremlin
rhoharane
that’s its common name. Scientific names are Latin.
rhoharane
but yes…. right… “gremlins”.. sure.
Other tarsier species are quite common though.
honestly
I hate when people with blog sites or even have real sites like this one post things that are so retarded they make it onto digg. Not only are they not the correct fiction creature, but they have been being tracked since 2000. Making this not exactly up to date.
Sun Tzu
Damn National Geographic.. Why the hell would they do that to us.. Oh well, screw em!
No
Um, google “pygmy tarsier” – you’ll see a bunch of articles that have come recently covered this discovery. So, no, this is pretty up to date.
In 2000, one Pygmy Tarsier was accidentally killed while killing rats. Not exactly “tracking.” Check your facts before crying “fake” next time.

Gremlins was a great movie but it psised me off that he was so stupid to feed him after midnight!
Rebecca
These are pygmy tarsiers… not Gremlins.
They’re larger relatives, Tarsiers, have been known for some time and are also relatively small in the world of primates. I’m not sure what makes them “gremlins” any more than their relatives.
Also, primates as a whole, including the new pygmy tarsiers have fingernails instead of claws. The family of Tarsiers is known for their claw-like nails that provide for vertical clinging but they are still nails at heart.
dragonhead08
They taste like chicken
WOW!
OK, this is to everything saying, “It’s not a gremlin! *cry*cry*” Well, you guys are idiots, he was just saying “gremlin” like from the movie. Not saying it’s an actual gremlin, you retards. Of course it’s not a gremlin.
Heather
The “damn and cool environment”? Surely you mean “damp”.
Social Networking
There’s a typo in your article. It should say “damp and cool”, not “damn and cool”.
Me
He could’ve meant they live in a “damn cool environment”.
Probably not, but a fun typo none the less.

Glad that some Gremlins are still around.
Is this a good Gremlin?
thanks from tony

I think Mogwai (great band btw) is both the singular and plural. Much like sheep and fish.
Also, if you can’t feed them after midnight; when can you start feeding them again!?
mosesmoe1k
dont you think after 85 years , that the dam thing just dont want to be bothered,it should take a bite out of that persons ass!
Gaspard
Hey, I saw these little animals (Tarsier) in Philippine last year, on Bohol island. Really cute and friendly actually, they can climb on your hand by themselves after they get used to have you around.
By the way, did you know that Mogwai means “monster” in Cantonese?
salpoe
it’s very common(not exactly because they are to be extinct) in Bohol, Philippines
anonymous pinoy
pygmy tarsiers are not the same as philippine tarsiers(which are found in bohol) though they belong in the same family.
smart gurl

Good post, I can’t say that I agree with everything that was said, but very good information overall:)

To be fair to the idiot author, the Tarsier (and relatives) have been called Gremlins for many many years in the west as a cute nickname by lazy simple minded media sources, that daft association wasn't his fault. But the report that they were extinct is 100% nonsense and isn't even mistakenly believed so please feel justified in throwing big arse stones at the idiot for that one!!
