The Kayan River slow loris is a small, nocturnal primate that lives in the highlands of northern and central Borneo. It is the only primate known to have a toxic bite, which it uses to defend itself. It is classed as Vulnerable because its forest home is being lost.1

怎样认出它

High contrast between its black and white facial markings1
The stripe between its eyes is sometimes bulb-shaped rather than rectangular1
The ears are always covered in hair1
Its fur is generally longer and fluffier than that of the Bornean slow loris1

常被误认为： It is often confused with the Bornean slow loris (N. menagensis). The Kayan River slow loris has more contrast in its facial markings, hairy ears instead of naked ears, and longer, fluffier fur.1

毒液之力

咬伤

它咬的时候，毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。

它的毒液会造成什么？

It has a toxic bite, which is unusual among primates. A pungent, clear, oily toxin is made in a gland on the inside of its elbow. The animal licks this gland, and the secretion mixes with its saliva to become active. The toxin is also rubbed onto its fur as protection for infants.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

它害怕时会做什么？

When threatened, it wipes the toxin from its elbow gland onto its toothcomb, and it may bite the attacker. Slow lorises can be slow to let go of a bite, which helps deliver more toxin.1

如果它咬人

把伤口洗干净并就医。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它咬了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

It is one of the few primates known to have a toxic bite, and this is a unique feature among primates.1

Its face mask may help it recognise other lorises of its own kind, and it may also make its eyes look bigger than they really are, which can deter predators.1

It has a toothcomb, a set of specialised lower front teeth that it uses for grooming.1

Its population is estimated to have fallen by more than 30% over about 21 to 24 years.1
