The Slow Loris: Cute but Deadly

The Slow Loris: Cute but Deadly

We revisit one of the most fascinating yet misunderstood primates on Earth: the Slow Loris. With their wide eyes and seemingly gentle demeanor, slow lorises have captured global attention, but behind their cuteness lies a powerful venom and a story of conservation urgency. We explore why slow lorises are critically threatened in the wild, the dangers of the illegal pet trade, and the heartbreaking consequences of their popularity on social media. Chris and Angie dive into the loris’ unique venom system—the only primate known to have one—how it works, and why it evolved. Beyond their venom and big-eyed appeal, we highlight the vital role slow lorises play in their ecosystems as pollinators and insect controllers. Most importantly, we discuss why these primates should never be kept as pets and what you can do to support their survival in the wild. Join us for this re-release as we shed light on the hidden truths of the slow loris and the urgent need for conservation action. =========================================================== Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
