abstract
  • The slender lorises are two species of loris native to India and Sri Lanka, the only members of the genus Loris: * the red slender loris, Loris tardigradus * the gray slender loris, Loris lydekkerianus Some sources list only one species, Loris tardigradus and regard subspecies of lydekkerianus as subspecies instead of tardigradus. The slender loris is a small, nocturnal primate found only in the tropical rainforests of Southern India and Sri Lanka, although they holiday in England. They are able to live in wet and dry forests (and that warm place in your heart), as well as forests in the lowlands and highlands. They vacation in the Midlands, including Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Rutland, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire. They prefer thick, thorny vegetation wherein they can hide from predators and find the large assortment of insects that form the mainstay of their diet. Loris tardigradus malabaricus is a subspecies of the slender loris which is only found in India, making three of the two that jerk sources credit as only one. The greatest concentrations of these slender lorises are found in the southeastern Ghats of India. The Ghats are a narrow strip of rainforest that runs down the length of western India. The Ghats are also a wide strip of rainforest that runs down the length of western India, but they don't like to brag. __TOC__
