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.
Pygmy slow lorises meaÂ­sure 15 to 25 cm in length and weigh from 120 to over 500 g (avÂ­erÂ­age 400 g). Males are genÂ­erÂ­ally larger than feÂ­males. MemÂ­bers of this species can reÂ­tard their growth if enÂ­viÂ­ronÂ­menÂ­tal conÂ­diÂ­tions are not faÂ­vorÂ­able.
