Flying Lemur Inspired by Avatar's Momo

This Amigurumi was put together by me as a christmas gift to one of my best friends. It's a simple pattern for those who know crochet, and well, I really enjoyed putting him together. My friend loves him too. I would categorize this pattern as easy. It's simply working in the round and decreasing to shape. I am not an expert pattern writer yet, so I hope the pattern is clear and understandable to it's readers.

Need:
White yarn (I used Red Heart)
Hook best fitted to your yarn (I used F)
Tapestry needle
use brown felt for face, ears and outline of arms and ribs as well as the neck
use tan felt for wings and stripes on ears
use green felt for the eyes
black felt for the nose
black fabric marker
hot glue gun
Poly fill for stuffing Head and Body Only (arms, legs and ears don't need it)
