The Philippine slow loris is a small primate with pale golden to red fur and large eyes. It lives in lowland forests, gardens and plantations on the north and east coasts of Borneo and in the Sulu Archipelago of the Philippines. It is special because it is one of the smallest slow lorises and one of the hardest to find in the wild.1

Leef in

Northern and eastern Borneo (Brunei, Sabah, East Kalimantan) and the Tawi-Tawi Group of the Sulu Archipelago, Philippines1

Asië

Tuis

It lives in the trees of primary and secondary lowland forest, gardens and plantations, at heights of 35 to 100 metres above sea level. Locals in the Philippines often see it in citrus trees, such as calamansi.1

Lengte

27 cm (10,8 in)1

Gewig

265 g tot 325 g (9 oz tot 11 oz)1

Topspoed

omtrent 2 km/h (1,2 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

Its diet is poorly studied, but it is suspected to eat more insects than most slow loris species. It has also been seen feeding on gum from a woody vine (liana).1

Hoe om dit te herken

Pale golden to red fur1
Low-contrast markings on the face and head, with no strong dark face mask1
Short, unfluffed body hair1
Consistently lacks a second upper incisor (front tooth)1
Small body, with a vestigial tail, round head and short ears; it is nocturnal and moves through the trees1

Word dikwels verwar met: It is often confused with other slow lorises. The Bornean kayan slow loris (N. kayan) also has pale body colour, but it has a dark, high-contrast face mask and longer, fluffier fur. Its face markings are much fainter than those of N. kayan.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

This animal has a gland on the inside of its elbow that makes a pungent, clear, oily toxin. It spreads the toxin on its toothcomb (a set of lower front teeth) and uses it for defence.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When threatened, it wipes toxin from its elbow gland onto its toothcomb.1

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

Feite

It is so rare and hard to find that in one 75-day field study at Sabangau National Park, researchers recorded only 12 sightings.1

It has a curved grooming claw on its second hind toe, which it uses for scratching and grooming.1

Fossils of this species have been found in the Late Pleistocene site of Niah in Sarawak.1

It is one of the smallest slow lorises, and it is the least studied of Indonesia's slow lorises.1
