Slow Loris is a group of several species of nocturnal strepsirrhine primates. They are mammals of the order and known as Prosimian – which also includes lemurs, bushbabies, and tarsiers. Slow lorises also move slowly and deliberately, making little or no noise, and when threatened, they stop moving and remain immobile.
Features: -Slow lorises have a round head, a narrow snout, large eyes, and a variety of distinctive coloration patterns that are species-dependent. Their species are small to medium-sized primates which range in weight from 103 g to 2100 g.
Behavior: - They are nocturnal i.e. they are active during the night and sleep during the day; they are arboreal, spending their lives living in trees. Slow lorises are omnivores, eating small animals, insects, fruit, tree gum, and other vegetation.
Habitat: - They have a range of habitats over a vast area of southern and south-eastern Asia. Slow lorises are native to the rainforests of South Asia and Southeast Asia. Thailand is home to two species of slow loris; the greater slow loris and the Bengal slow loris.
