Avahi Cleesei

Again my friend John leads me to an article, this time to this article about a new species of lemur being named after British actor John Cleese.

If you haven't seen Fierce Creatures, the appropriateness of this may be lost on you. In the movie, Cleese plays a director of a failing zoo. In an attempt to win him over (so that her department's funding doesn't get cut) a keeper names one of her lemur's after Cleese's character.

The article also mentions Cleese's official website, which has a lemur theme-- not kidding.
