The slender loris is about the size of a squirrel, and has small finger nails.

The slender loris is an arboreal animal, spending most of its life in trees.

One can find many animals here including the black panther, the slender loris and giant squirrels.

The slender loris' round head is dominated by two large, closely set, saucer-like brown eyes.

The slender loris is about the size of a chipmunk, with long, pencil-thin arms and legs.

This is the first time the Horton Plains slender loris has ever been photographed.

The slender loris is a nocturnal hunter.

Mammals include tiger, leopard, elephant, gaur, slender loris and pangolin.

Slender loris, lion-tailed macaque, sambar and chital are some of the animals found here.

The sanctuary is home to animals like wild pig, slender loris, rhesus monkey, flying squirrel and porcupine.

Lemur tardigradus - red slender loris

Rainforest Animals - slender loris

According to Linnaeus' own explanation, the name was selected because of the nocturnal activity and slow movements of the slender loris.

Mammal species include elephant, gaur, wild pig, slender loris, Malabar giant squirrel and barking deer.

The Horton Plains slender loris has been so elusive for more than 60 years scientists believed the wide-eyed mammal had become extinct.

The gray slender loris (Loris lydekkerianus) is a species of primate in the family Loridae.

Loris tardigradus - Slender Loris

The Montane slender loris lives in rainforests in India and Sri Lanka.

Nycticebus coucang - Sunda slow loris

In 1953, all of the slow lorises were lumped together into a single species, the Sunda slow loris (Nycticebus coucang).

For example, the rapid leaper Tarsius bancanus has semicircular canals much bigger than the slow-climbing Nycticebus coucang.

In 1939, Reginald Innes Pocock combined all slow lorises into a single species, Nycticebus coucang.

Osman Hill thus listed Nycticebus coucang pygmaeus, while acknowledging that "it may be deemed necessary to accede this form specific rank."

Slow lorises (Nycticebus coucang, Nycticebus bengalensis, Nycticebus pygmaeus, Nycticebus kayan)

In 1971, however, Colin Groves recognized the pygmy slow loris (N. pygmaeus) as a separate species, and divided N. coucang into four subspecies, including Nycticebus coucang menagensis.

These include Banded Leaf Monkey Presbytis femoralis, Sunda Slow Loris Nycticebus coucang, Malayan Porcupine Hystrix brachura.

In an influential 1953 publication, primatologist William Charles Osman Hill also consolidated all the slow lorises in one species, Nycticebus coucang, and considered other forms distinct at the subspecies level.

The slow loris, Nycticebus coucang, ranges from Vietnam to Borneo, and the slender loris, Loris tardigradus, ranges from India to Sri Lanka.

The Sunda slow loris (Nycticebus coucang) or greater slow loris is a strepsirrhine primate and a species of slow loris native to Indonesia, western Malaysia, southern Thailand and Singapore.

In his 1971 review of slow loris taxonomy, taxonomist and primatologist Colin Groves recognized the Javan slow loris as a subspecies, Nycticebus coucang javanicus, of the Sunda slow loris (N. coucang), with ornatus as a synonym.

In 2001 Groves opined that there were three species (N. coucang, N. pygmaeus, and N. bengalensis), and that N. coucang itself had three subspecies (Nycticebus coucang coucang, N. c. menagensis, and N. c. javanicus).
