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.
Live trade of slow lorises most commonly affects Sunda slow lorises, Bornean slow lorises, and Javan slow lorises, but traders do not distinguish among species, and other slow lorises such as pygmy slow lorises are sometimes traded as well.
