Loris, of course! Cute, dangerous primates worth seeing. The solenodon is like a shrew, it is interesting but doesn't have the cuteness Loris have. But, I would like to see both species someday.

Thank you for the reply @Jungle Man !

I agree lorises are cute and dangerous but I should say that the solenodon is also (cute in its strange primeaval way) dangerous.

I dont really see the similarity between the solenodon and the agouti really unless you mean in terms of the fur ?

Oh, yeah. I got confused, I meant kind of like a shrew. I sometimes find them, a little creepy but I would still see it. Loris are invincible in this cuteness competition.
 
Another very interesting result from this poll ! The loris won!

It was a very close one and the loris won only narrowly by one point over the solenodon.

This really comes as quite a suprise to me as I was expecting the solenodon to be an underdog from the start and the loris winning to be a certain outcome.

I'm glad that so many zoochatters are fond of these interesting venomous little mammal species as much as I am.

Here is a video of a curious Javan slow loris from the excellent little fireface project which works with the conservation of loris species from across South-East Asia to celebrate the victory of these animals in the poll.
