Random Loris Umbrella

Why are we obsessed with humanizing animals?...


I mean who hasn't put a hat or sunglasses on a dog!?

(from Wiki)
The slow loris is any one of five species of loris classified in the genus Nycticebus: Sunda Slow Loris (Nycticebus coucang), Bengal Slow Loris (Nycticebus bengalensis), Pygmy Slow Loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus), Javan Slow Loris (Nycticebus javanicus), and the Bornean Slow Loris (Nycticebus menagensis). These slow-moving strepsirhine primates range from Borneo and the southern Philippines in Southeast Asia, through Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, India (North Eastern India, Bengal), southern China (Yunnan area), Sri Lanka and Thailand. They are hunted for their large eyes, which are prized for local traditional medicine. They are also turned into a wine said to alleviate pain, or dried and smoked. The Indonesian name, malu malu, can be translated as "shy one". The pygmy species is listed as threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources Red List of Threatened Species classifies the Javan Slow Loris as an endangered species and all other species of slow loris as vulnerable.
