i think it is very nice,haha..because today my brother had found i so cute..but not cute enough for biting,someone told me that this animal bite was dangerous not because of sickness but i wont let it go until you heard thunder.,anyway ,it is folk tales, right?? comes to think of it ,it may true.watever just a piece of my mind think while looking at it, with that innocent face,,lol=).here is some info about it ..well,it comes from three species of loris which is it is slow loris. maybe because of it movement which is slow.
The Indonesian name, malu malu, can be translated as "shy one".while malaysian name give it to him was "kera duku", some "nelon".maybe it to shy to move then people give the name.
other than that slow loris is an endangered species.Adult slow lorises range in size from 21 to 38 cm (8.3 to 15 in), depending on the species, and weigh up to 2 kg . The short, thick fur can have a variety of colours, but most common is reddish-grey with white undertones. They have well developed opposable thumbs, which they use to grasp and hold branches, and a very flexible back.dont think it do not have tale, it does but to shrt to be seen..haha.
it also have defence tactic which Slow lorises can produce a toxin which they mix with their saliva to use as protection against enemies. Mothers will lick this toxin onto their offspring before leaving them to search for food. The toxin is produced by glands on the insides of their elbows. The lorises suck it into their mouths and deliver it when they bite or lick.Loris bites cause a painful swelling, and the toxin is mild and not fatal. Cases of human death have been due to ..wow..scary,right? for such small and cute one..like a vampires.haha.=)
