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

怎样认出它

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

常被误认为： 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

它的毒液会造成什么？

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 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

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 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

谣言粉碎机

谣言： It is a sloth.

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