Dorsal pelage is red to reddish-brown, darkest on the shoulders and paler on the lower back and pelvis. After a gestation period of 166 - 169 days, 1 or 2 young are born. They are nocturnal primates which prefer to inhabit thick, thorny bushes and bamboo clumps to evade predators. The slender loris, with its marked optic convergence, appears to be the ultimate visual predator, but do the data presented here corroborate the visual predation hypothesis? Survey of the slender loris (Primates, Lorisidae Gray, 1821: Loris tardigradus Linnaeus, 1758 and Loris lydekkerianus Cabrera, 1908) in Sri Lanka. The greatest concentrations of these slender lorises are found in the southeastern Ghats of India. The Red Slender Loris breeds twice per year between May and December. Loris Predators. Loris tardigradus tardigradus is the smallest slender loris, weighing from 128 g to 142 g and with a head-body length not exceeding 206 mm. Under its elbow, the Loris has patch that secretes a toxin. Nekaris, K., J. Jayewardene. Predators Humans are the main predator of the Red Slender Loris. The human is the slender Loris' main predator Where can you buy a slow loris? Slow lorises store a poisonous toxin on the inside of their elbows, which they can lick to become poisonous toward predators (Sharma, 2010). When it is in danger, the Loris licks the patch and rubs the toxin on its teeth. This depends on one's view of another major scenario, which has been invoked to explain the origin of primate traits. Spacing system of the Mysore slender loris (Loris lydekkerianus lydekkerianus). Loris is a type of primate. The two species of slender loris (the red slender loris [Loris tardigradus] and the gray slender loris [L. lydekkerianus]) of India and Sri Lanka are about 20–25 cm (8–10 inches) long and have long slender limbs, small hands, a rounded head, and a pointed muzzle.

Loris tardigradus malabaricus is a subspecies of the slender loris which is only found in India. Although the slow loris may appear cute and innocent, people must be aware of the dangers of the only poisonous primate. A possible function of this venom is to protect against predators. They are weaned by the time they reach 7 months old and become sexually mature at 10 months old. This gives the loris a toxic bite that will deter the predator. Raptors are confirmed predators of Asian slow lorises (Nycticebus spp. The range of Loris lydekkerianus has been expanded to an unknown extent due to the careless collection and distribution of plant materials. To avoid being eaten by predators, a Loris has a special defence mechanism. They are small animals with long thin arms and a tail that is small or completely absent.
