This is the cutest thing evah!
Yes so cute. I also saw it today on GMA and just had to find this clip so I could watch it again. Adorable!
This is so sweet, so tender. What a cutie pie. He is highly endangered and illegal to own, I hope his habitat gets stronger protection.
my concern too……so cute but should never be a pet…..I hope these little sweeties are in these peoples care for good reason. What cuties!
They’re endangered–because of many factors–not the least being the pet trade. I’d say this little bundle was probably purchased for someone’s amusement. Check out this website for more eye opening information: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6731631.stm
Oh wow, that’s really terrible.
Slow Lorises are not endangered, they are in danger of becoming endangered. One should only buy a slow loris from registered, legal pet traders whose slow lorises are raised in captivity from birth. But if someone is considering this, then you should know that slow lorises have poison glends in their mouths and if they bite you, you will get awful boils. They mix this poison in their salliva and lick it to their young to protect them.
Slow Loris are endangered full stop. They are listed as endangered in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Endangered Species Act.
Captive breeding success in Slow Loris is so low, especially among non-professional zoologists, that I doubt your ‘registered pet traders’ are doing much but buying from the black market, with all the problems of the above bbc link.
Any breeding that does exist would be better focused on release programs than the pet trade.
Just saw this on GMA, had to see the site… adorable!!
If ever there were a reason to protect endangered animals…this is one of the best! This has to be the most precious little thing I’ve ever seen!
awwwww. I have never seen anything so cute. He looks like he has a racoon face. But awww still so cute.
awww he si cure. thats worth saving if he were indangered. But i dont know if he is or not.
Hello,
What type of animal is Loris?
Thanks,
Deb
Deb,
Loris is really called a Loris. The owner/keeper hasn’t revealed it’s human-given nickname. Slow Loris is the type/genus of Loris. There’s another cousin called Slender Loris, that is more common.
This is JUST the BEST! SO adorable. I want one. Please tell us about him/her!!
OMG! I love it!
Thank you so much for sharing. It instantly gave me a smile. I can’t stop watching it over and over.
What kind of animal is Loris, please advise?
Loris is a “Slow Loris.” The title of his films are called, “Slow Loris,” implying that the creatures name is Loris and it moves slowly, but the actual animal is called a Slow Loris.
Here is a link to Wikipedia about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loris
This is so adorable. My daughter loves it and I added it to my favorites so that she can watch it all the time. I love it.
LOL this is so cute!
This is the most adorable video EVER!!!
AWWWWW! TO CUTE! Saw it on GMA loved it and so did my class.
I think he’s a type of lemur, which is a primate. he may be from Madagascar.
It’s a shame how beautiful animals like this cutie are being obliterated. It makes me want to scream. All because of greed and politics.
No, not from Madagascar, however it looks like one of the cute critters from the movie. They are normally found in: India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand, southern China, Phillipines. Problem is they are endangered and are being shipped illegally to places they wouldn’t normally live.
Very cute, and a very sad reality regarding them being hunted…from Wikipedia:
“There are thought to be approximately one million[2] slow lorises in Asia, although they are hunted for their large eyes which are prized[3] for local traditional medicine”
Horrible.
This is TOO CUTE!!!..and he’s got the look of dont stop please,ever!..ADORABLE

READ!!!
They’re being tortured & killed for their cuteness & their “powers”.
Lorises are primates but are not lemurs. They are found in Southeast Asia.
now in my rss reader)))

Like all animals in this world, the loris has to be protected from the worst plague ever: humans.
It looks so sad when she stops tickling.
That
The funniest thing about loris’ which people don’t realise before getting them as pets is that they continuously urinate on their feet so that they can leave scent trails wherever they go. In the wild it’s so they know which other loris’ are wandering around their territories, but in captivity it’s just plain smelly :p
