對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛，但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

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

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

在陸地上, 粗略估計

牠吃什麼？

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

怎麼認出牠

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

常被誤認為： 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

毒液力量

咬

咬的時候，毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

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

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛，但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

牠害怕時會做什麼？

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

如果牠咬人

把傷口徹底洗乾淨，並且就醫。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。急救基本知識

注意安全

絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
如果被牠咬了：保持冷靜，保持不動，打緊急電話（112、000、911）或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子，有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己，而且牠更想躲起來。更多安全知識

Philippine slow loris 跟「你」比起來有多大？

牠有多快？

一隻陸龜 大約 0,3 km/h (0,19 mph)

Philippine slow loris 大約 2 km/h (1,2 mph)

一個正在走路的人 大約 5 km/h (3,1 mph)

值得知道

小知識

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
