Awwww. I like little primates after taking physical anthropology.
I've always been interested in anthropology but have never taken a formal course, because I then would immediately be disinterested in the subject material.
Primates of all types have always provided me with that feeling of joy. It's like.. "aww, that's cute. Oh shit, that thing can really show facial expressions. Damn that thing is smart too!" Seems to not matter the size of primates, they all tend to show a degree of intelligence and "emotional" attributes that its just kind of awe-inspiring.
That, and some of them can be so cute. I still want a pet chimpanzee. Those are wicked cool. Brutally strong, and that just provides more amazement.
It's why I like canines and dolphins too (not surprisingly together, as its reported they likely share evolutionary history). Smart, can communicate their feelings through the most basic of communication, and notably behavior.
