Hahaha..That's funny. Really thought like a squirrel.
Squirrels up here in the Pacific Northwest of the US don't see a lot of primates, so the obvious "hairless monkey" descriptor would not work. It would probably be something like "Giant Naked Raccoon"!
Poor animals don't get to choose their own names like we do. I wonder what they would call us if they were to speak.
I know... rodent is such a harsh word!
I always find them extremely cute.
