The Bengal slow loris is a small, nocturnal primate with big eyes and dense, woolly fur. It lives in forests across South and Southeast Asia, and it is the largest of the slow loris species. It is endangered, mainly because it is sold in animal markets and used in traditional medicine.1

Bangladesh, Northeast India, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Vietnam, southern China and Thailand1

Asië

Tuis

It lives in tropical and subtropical forests, mainly evergreen and semi-evergreen rainforests with dense, continuous canopies. It is also found in bamboo groves. It prefers tall trees with large crowns, which usually have more food and fewer predators.1

Lengte

26 cm tot 38 cm (10,2 in tot 1,2 ft)1

Gewig

1 kg tot 2,1 kg (2,2 lb tot 4,6 lb)1

Topspoed

omtrent 2 km/h (1,2 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It eats mostly fruit, and also feeds on plant sap, gum and resin, which it obtains by scraping bark or gouging holes in it. It also eats large insects, snails, small birds and reptiles. In winter, its food is almost entirely plant exudates.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Dense, woolly brown-grey fur on its back, with white fur on its underside1
A dark stripe running up to the top of its head, which does not reach the ears1
Pale forearms and feet, with limbs that vary from brown to nearly white1
A round head, flat face, large eyes that show a bright orange eye shine, and short ears1
Body and head length of 26 to 38 cm1

Word dikwels verwar met: The Sunda slow loris is similar in size but is smaller and tawny- or golden-brown, without the pale head, nape and shoulders. The pygmy slow loris is much smaller, with dark brown fur, longer ears and no dark dorsal stripe.1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

A small gland on the inside of the elbow produces a pungent, clear, oily toxin. The animal wipes this fluid onto its toothcomb as a defence. The main chemical in it is m-cresol, a phenolic compound, and the mixture contains several dozen volatile chemicals.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

As dit byt

Was die wond goed en kry mediese hulp.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly
