Noah and the Flood

God was not happy with how corrupt the people of the world were. He told Noah that he had seven days to build an arch with three levels and bring on his whole family. Along with his family bring a male and mate of every animal and seven pairs of every bird. At the end of the seven days God flooded the Earth for 40 days and nights so that Noah and his family were the only righteous people left.

I think the Tarsier is very interesting. I like looking at this website that is about "creepy animals" and this one was on the front page one day. Since then it has really fascinated me. Mostly because of how big its eyes are compared to its body. Their eyes are fixed into their sockets so they can only look straight ahead- but they can turn their heads 180 degrees. I have never read about any other animal that does this but they are known to commit suicide if kept in captivity so there really arent any captive Tarsiers. They get stressed and bang their heads against surfaces.
