As far as I know, this animal has nothing to do with motor oil.
No, it has to do with Selenia.
You sneaky devil. I had to look that up. You're right (when are you not?). It does have to do with selenia.
well, i hope it does cause thats whats written on it
On your photos selenia kentaria. On my photo, Kent's geometer. The same animal. Live and loin.

not a clue on the technical name.....
but what a little "sploonch".
(am going through this thread slowly from the start - its fab - thanku)
It's some kind of small primate. Can't figure out which one. I've looked at aye-ayes, tarsiers, marmosets, tamarins. The face and hair are wrong.
Francis, am I right about it being a primate?
It's a Baby Slender Loris. Very cute.
rosborne, I think that could possibly be a tree shrew, possibly even a madras tree shrew. I also think I could possibly be wrong.

Hi Roberta, Tree Shrew is close enough. It's a Lesser Tree Shrew. Your turn.
Hint: rodent from North Africa

Difficult to say from the picture, but such North African rodent in an human environment could be a gerbil..
Sorry the picture is so nonspecific. All the other photos I found had the name of the animal in the URL.
This rodent is actually more likely to be found in the Middle East than in North Africa. It's closely related to gerbils. It's name rhymes with a kind of animal that flies.
Yes. I finally found a picture without the name in the URL. Sorry to have caused confusion.
Here's a better picture:
