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

Poder da pezoña

Morde

A pezoña sae polos seus cairos ou dentes cando morde.

Que fai a súa pezoña?

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

Que perigoso é para as persoas?

Perigo para as persoas: DolorosoPode doer moito, pero case nunca é grave.

Que fai cando ten medo?

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
