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

怎样认出它

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

常被误认为： 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

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？

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

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。

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

它害怕时会做什么？

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

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

谣言粉碎机

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

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