The pygmy slow loris is a small, nocturnal primate that moves slowly through forest trees at night. It lives in parts of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and China. It is one of the few primates that can produce a toxic bite, which makes it special and very rare.1

Leef in

East of the Mekong River in Vietnam, Laos, eastern Cambodia and China1

Asië

Tuis

It lives in forests, including tropical dry forest, semi-evergreen forest and evergreen forest. It spends its time in trees, crawling along branches rather than leaping.1

Lengte

20 cm tot 23 cm (7,7 in tot 9,1 in)1

Gewig

360 g tot 580 g (13 oz tot 1,3 lb)1

Topspoed

omtrent 2 km/h (1,2 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

Hoe om dit te herken

Rings around the eyes that are seal brown in adults and darker in young animals1
A white stripe running from the nose up to the forehead1
Small black ears, about 23 mm long, with no fur on the tips1
A rufous to brownish-black stripe along the back, from the nape to the middle of the lower back1
Silvery white hands and feet with yellowish-white nails1

Word dikwels verwar met: The Bengal slow loris (N. bengalensis) lives in some of the same areas, near the border of southern China and Vietnam. The two can be told apart by differences in their chromosomes, not by appearance alone.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The bite is toxic. The animal licks a clear, oily secretion from glands on the inside of its elbows and mixes it with its saliva, which creates a noxious toxin. The secretion contains over 200 chemical components, and one of them is a protein similar to an allergen found in cat dander. In people who are sensitive to it, this can cause anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

The main risk is anaphylaxis, which can affect people who are sensitive to the protein in its secretion.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When startled, it licks the secretion from its elbow glands and spreads it over its head.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

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

Its lower teeth form a comb-like toothcomb, which it uses for grooming and for scraping resin from tree bark.1

Its weight changes with the seasons. Adults can be about 50 percent heavier in winter than in summer, and individuals up to 700 grams have been recorded.1

Unlike most other primates, it does not leap. It moves by crawling slowly along branches.1

Males mark their territories with scent, and females prefer males whose scent is familiar.1

Females are only fertile for a short time each year, so mating opportunities are rare.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Animals found near Hòa Bình in Vietnam were a separate species, N. intermedius.

Waarheid: DNA analysis showed these were adults of the pygmy slow loris. Differences in dorsal stripes and silvery hairs are seasonal variation.1
