Bengal Slow Loris

The Bengal slow loris is the largest slow loris, measuring 26–38 cm from head to tail and weighing 1–2.1 kg. Like other slow lorises it has a wet nose, a round head, a flat face, large eyes, small ears, a vestigial tail and dense woolly fur. It has the largest range of any slow loris species, from Bangladesh and north-east India through Indochina, including Vietnam, to southern China (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is arboreal, nocturnal and lives in small family groups, marks its territory with urine and sleeps by day curled up in dense vegetation or tree holes. Fruit makes up most of the diet, with insects, tree gum, snails and small vertebrates. It breeds once every 12–18 months, usually with a single young that the mother carries for the first three months.
