Slow lorises. Slow lorises are a group of primates from southeast Asia and possess a very rare trait for a mammal â a toxic bite. This provides defence from predators and mothers also protect their young by licking the toxin onto their fur. Slow lorises are perfectly adapted to life in the trees with special pincer-like hands and feet.
Simply stated, a glacier is a large, slow-moving mass of ice. While there are many types of glaciers, they can be divided into two categories: alpine and continental. Alpine glaciers are found in a mountainous region and flow down valleys.Continental glaciers are dome-shaped glaciers that flow away from a central region and are largely unaffected by the landâs topography. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are examples of continental glaciers.Smaller masses of ice, called ice caps, are also considered continental glaciers. Alpine glaciers are further classified by their shape as well as the surface they flow onto.lpine glaciers flow down valleys, and continental glaciers flow outward in all directions from a central point. Glaciers move by two mechanisms: internal deformation and sliding. Internal deformation occurs when the enormous mass of a glacier causes it to spread out due to gravity.
