The Sunda slow loris is a small, slow-moving primate with large eyes and a wet nose. It lives in the forests and rainforests of Indonesia, West Malaysia, southern Thailand and Singapore. It is special because it produces a toxin in glands inside its elbows, which it spreads over its fur while grooming.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Dark rings around its large eyes and a white nose with a whitish strip that runs up to the forehead1
A dark stripe that runs from the back of the head along the spine1
Soft, thick, woolly fur that ranges from light brown to deep reddish brown, with a lighter underside1
Measures 27 to 38 cm from head to tail, and weighs 599 to 685 g1
Moves slowly through trees on all four limbs, usually with three limbs attached to a support at a time1

Word dikwels verwar met: The Bengal slow loris is often confused with it. The Sunda slow loris has dark inverse teardrop markings around the eyes that meet the dark stripe on the back of the head, a more distinct white stripe between the eyes, and a browner coat. The Bengal slow loris is larger, greyer and shows less contrast.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

All slow loris species produce a toxin in glands on the insides of their elbows. The animal spreads this toxin over its body and onto its young using its toothcomb while grooming. The toxin is in its saliva-covered fur, and it can bite when threatened.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 can bite, roll into a ball to expose its toxic saliva-covered fur, or roll up and drop from the trees. Its main method of avoiding predators is hiding.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 teeth are often pulled out before it is sold as a pet, which can cause infection or death. Without its teeth it cannot be released back into the wild.1

It has an extremely low metabolic rate compared with other mammals of its size.1

It mostly lives alone, with one study showing it spent only 8% of its active time near other individuals.1

It is one of the most abundant primate species on sale at Indonesian pet markets.1

Mite-breker

Mite: It is a sloth.

Waarheid: In 1770 a Dutch naturalist described a specimen as a type of sloth, but it is a primate, a strepsirrhine.1
