Et la je ne rigole pas. Enfin, moins. Un proto-lemur de 47 millions d'années dans un superbe état de fossilisation.
Mais bon, il vient de Darmstadt, c'est un lemurien, what are the odds ?!

The beautifully preserved remains of a 47-million-year-old, lemur-like creature have been unveiled in the US.
The preservation is so good, it is possible to see the outline of its fur and even traces of its last meal.
The fossil, nicknamed Ida, is claimed to be a "missing link" between today's higher primates - monkeys, apes and humans - and more distant relatives.
But some independent experts, awaiting an opportunity to see the new fossil, are sceptical of the claim.
