The Shanghai Zoo in China has a new animal on show - the cute gray mouse lemur.
It can only be found in the wild on the island of Madagascar and weighs less than 67g.
The nocturnal gray mouse lemur feeds on plants and invertebrates. Four of the species were imported into China.
A feeder at the zoo said: "When we captured them for weighing, they often bite tightly on our plastic gloves.
"But if we puff gently on to their face, they would tamely open their mouth and let our hands go."
