Once upon a time in Ancient Greece there was a word for a night ghost. This word is lemur. When zoologists met these funny animals with large expressive eyes, they were called lemurs. The local population was terribly afraid of lemurs, endowing them with mystical abilities. Lemurs come in many different types and sizes.
The smallest lemur is the dwarf mouse lemur, measuring only 22 centimeters maximum, including the tail. The baby weighs no more than fifty grams. The largest living species is the babakoto or short-tailed indri. Its maximum weight is no more than seven and a half kilograms, and its body length does not exceed seventy centimeters.
Who are lorises
Loris are cute nocturnal predatory mammals from the Loridae family. Their large, close-set eyes see well in the dark, and their tiny ears catch the chirping of the wings of an unwary insect against the background of the noise of the jungle. They do not have a tail, but they have a unique toilet comb located on the wrist. Animals use it to tidy up their fur when they wash themselves.
THIS IS INTERESTING. Contrary to the popular name, lorises are not lemurs. These are two different families that are united only by the order Primates.
Javan slow loris in its natural habitat
There are two genera of animals: thin (Loris) and thick (Nycticebus) lorises. The first include the red (Ceylon) and gray lorises living in the tropics of South India and the island of Sri Lanka. The locals call both of them Tewangu. The second genus lives in the humid forests of Southeast Asia and includes 5 species: Bengal, slow, Kalimantan, Java and small.
THIS IS INTERESTING. The phrase “fat, aka slow, aka small loris” is often used. It appears due to the fact that all “fat women” are similar to each other in appearance, lifestyle and behavior. And in English-language literature, instead of “fat” they are all called slow.
The funny names of the groups are due to the characteristic body structure. Slender lorises are smaller and more graceful than their more massive, densely built relatives. Even the smallest species, the Kalimantan slow loris, has an average body length of 24 cm, while for the “skinny” loris this is a rarely reached maximum. But the fat ones are far from the long, slender legs of their thin relatives.

How do lorises live?
Both genera are nocturnal. During the day, lorises sleep in hollows or on the forks of branches in the crowns of trees. At night, animals hunt and patrol their territory.
Slender lorises are socially active. They live in small groups. After sunset, members of the pack can be found engaging in mutual grooming, playing together, communicating, and during the day, sleeping in the spirit of the Croods family. That is, in a heap. Fatties are usually solitary predators. Groups are formed only during the mating season, until the offspring become sufficiently independent.
By the way, the mating season for lorises takes place twice a year. Pregnancy lasts about 180 days. 1 cub is born. Twins are very rare.
THIS IS INTERESTING. Tevangu are very talkative. Scientists recorded about 60 different sounds: from subtle grunting to ringing chirping. And one slow loris can have up to 60 favorite sleeping places, which he will not share with anyone else.
Tevangu are energetic not only in communication. They are characterized by mobility, high speed of reaction and movement, which their dense-bodied relatives lack. It is curious that due to the slowness of slow lorises, zoologists initially intermarried with sloths. But they quickly realized the mistake: in comparison with the imposing eaters of eucalyptus leaves, the big-eyed fatties look like hard workers.
Fat slow loris
All lorises are very territorial. Moving along the branches, the animals often irrigate them with urine. And at the same time - your paws. This allows you to more effectively mark property boundaries.
What do loris eat?
The diet of the loris is very varied. Tevangu mainly eat insects: ants, crickets, cicadas. However, if desired, they will eat bark, tree sap, resin, flower nectar, and arthropods. Sometimes - eggs of birds and small lizards. That is, the typical food of slow lorises.
Lorises will not refuse plant foods either. Young bamboo shoots and tree foliage, bananas, dates and even coconuts - they eat all this with pleasure.
Video about how loris eats:
Reproduction and lifespan
Animals are selective in their search for a mate; individuals of different sexes cannot always form a family. Pregnancy lasts a little more than 6 months and, as a rule, 1-2 cubs are born. The babies appear covered in fur, with their eyes open. They hold tightly to the mother's belly, clinging to the fur.
The female carries the baby on herself for about 1.5-2 months. Lactation lasts approximately 4-5 months. Babies can wander from mother to father or close relative, hang on them, and then move to their mother for feeding.
Parents take care of their offspring jointly, but maternal activity is still higher. Only after a year and a half, the stronger offspring become independent and begin to start their own families.
Life expectancy is on average 12-14 years. There are examples where good care significantly increased the lifespan of the lemur loris. How long they live in captivity depends on the absence of infections and the creation of conditions close to natural ones. Animals can survive up to 20-25 years.
Unfortunately, a fashion has arisen for breeding lorises. The price of lemur loris for sale buy an animal, but without special knowledge and skills in handling this ancient species, it is difficult to win the trust of the big-eyed primate.
Natural enemies of lorises
In nature, little lorises have many enemies. Dangers await them both from the ground and from the air. Due to their small size, these primates are not averse to feasting on large predators: orangutan, hawk, python. They attack the Tevang from trees, air and ground. But the biggest threat to the little loris is humans.
THIS IS INTERESTING. Slow lorises are the only venomous primates known to science.
The glands of slow lorises located on the elbows of the front legs secrete a special secretion. During washing, it spreads throughout the body, mixes with saliva and forms a toxic substance. When it comes into contact with the mucous membranes of the mouth, it causes nausea, vomiting, spasm of the windpipe, and suffocation. This is how animals protect themselves from natural enemies. The poisonous secretion of loris provokes an allergic reaction, intoxication, and people with hypersensitivity develop shortness of breath and Quincke's edema.

What do lemurs eat?
Lemurs feed mainly on fruits. Sometimes fallen leaves, flowers and some insects. Mating games of these animals usually begin in April, which leads to the birth of one and sometimes two cubs. The weight of the cub usually does not exceed 120 grams.
In search of food, lemurs can even climb over very thorny branches.
Life expectancy is usually between 35-38 years. Today there is a threat of extinction of this animal. This is due to a sharp decline in their population. Thus, the number of ring-tailed lemurs is about 100 thousand individuals. But hunting this animal has a detrimental effect on its reproduction.
Female ring-tailed lemur with baby
Perhaps this is the most accurate description of them as very attractive and unique animals. What do people like most about these animals? Probably their sincere good nature and affection. People should watch such animals more often in order to have an idea of what a kind and understanding creature one can be. This is exactly how we see them in everyday life. This is exactly how we will remember them - quirky and affectionate animals.

Where to see the miracle beast
The nocturnal lifestyle, secrecy, caution and timidity of lorises make observing them in the wild a difficult task. In captivity, you don’t really look at the animals either:
- Firstly, they are very impressionable, fastidious in their maintenance, easily injured, susceptible to stress, and contract infections. In general, they do not tolerate being outside their natural environment well. Because of this, only 28 zoos in the world can boast of such guests. And the menageries where the animals gave birth can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
- Secondly, lorises sleep during the day. Even if you get to the menagerie where these little ones live, the chance of seeing them is extremely small.
Therefore, the best way to watch an exotic animal is through specialized video channels, Discovery, National Geographic or Nat Geo Wild programs.
Entertaining videos on YouTube with inviting titles like “Cute slow loris eats a banana” or “Scratch the lemur” are unlikely to please you when you find out the other side of the touching picture.
Discussions regarding the classification of lemurs
At the moment, the final classification has not been determined.
Loris are considered by some to be lemurs, but this opinion may not be accurate.
Loriformes, according to most scientists, rather represent a separate infraorder.
Why do lorises need protection?
All loris species are endangered, most of them are listed in the Red Book. The reason for this is the destruction of the natural habitat, the superstitions of the inhabitants of Cambodia, Southern China and the islands of Southeast Asia. And also the growing popularity of the loris as a pet.
Many ethnic groups living in the loris habitat use animals in folk medicine and shamanic practices. According to local superstitions:
- A loris primate buried under the foundation of a house will bring happiness, and if it is buried at an intersection or road, there will be fewer accidents there.
- Preparations based on body parts of slow lorises cure 100 diseases.
- The skeleton, brain, paws and skin of the Bengal species help cope with rheumatism.
- Dried small loris carcass can cure cancer.
- The meat of these animals treats asthma, leprosy, and gastrointestinal diseases.
- The skin protects against epilepsy, and the bones are an excellent amulet for good luck.
- If a man drinks water from a jug with a loris skull at the bottom, he will become meek and sweet (like the animal itself).
- With the help of a dead animal you can protect yourself from evil spirits or set them on your enemies.
- Rice vodka tincture of three slow loris body parts will make childbirth easier.

Is it possible to keep loris at home?
Unfortunately, civilized people are not far removed from superstitious savages. They are captivated not by fictitious mystical abilities, but by the real appearance of the kids. Especially slow lorises: their round, soft toy-like body, leisurely, slightly clumsy movements and large sad eyes win hearts. For a number of reasons, you should not keep a loris as a pet.
- A cute and defenseless animal at first glance is poisonous. There have been cases when loris owners, after interacting with the primate, ended up in the intensive care unit and miraculously remained alive.
- It is unnatural to keep a wild animal in conditions far from its natural habitat.
- Lorises are protected by law and the state and are included in the Red Book. This means that catching and trading of any species of these animals is prohibited or limited.
- Numerous visual materials and articles telling that the loris is an ideal pet, the socialization and maintenance of which anyone can do, only increase the demand, provoking an increase in poaching, smuggling, illegal sales, cruelty and high mortality of fragile animals.
If the animal’s conservation status, illegal catching, poor tolerance of living in captivity and complex maintenance, which not every primatologist can cope with, do not impress you, we suggest watching a video where a fighter for the protection of big-eyed lemurs, Peter Egan, tells why the domestic lemur loris is a very bad idea.
Lifestyle and habitat
Lemurs are endemic in their attachment to their territory of residence. In the past, animals occupied the entire island territory of Madagascar and the Comoros Islands. When there were no natural enemies, populations increased rapidly due to food diversity.
Today, lemurs in Madagascar are preserved only in the mountain ranges and on isolated island areas with open forests and wet jungle vegetation. Sometimes bold individuals end up in city parks and landfill sites.
Many primates live in family groups, numbering from 3 to 30 individuals. Strict order and hierarchy reign in lemur society. The female lemur always dominates the flock and chooses its partners. Young females, growing up, often stay in the pack, unlike males who go to other communities.
Many lemurs gather in large family flocks
Unlike family groups, there are individuals who prefer loneliness or living with a partner in a microfamily.
Families, depending on the number of individuals, inhabit “their” territories, marked abundantly with secretions and urine. The area ranges from 10 to 80 hectares. Borders are carefully protected from the invasion of strangers, marked by scratches on tree bark and bitten branches. Both males and females monitor the integrity of the site.
Most lemurs live in trees, where their long tail helps them navigate. They create dens and shelters in which they rest, sleep, and breed. Up to 10-15 individuals can accumulate in tree hollows while resting.
Lemur sifaka
Some species sleep directly on branches, clasping them with their forelimbs. When resting, animals curl their tail around their body.
Many lemurs travel considerable distances along plant branches. Moving on the ground also occurs in leaps and bounds with the help of two or four limbs. Verreaux's wet-nosed primates are capable of covering 9-10 meters in one jump. Communication between primates consists of grunts or purrs alternating with high-pitched screams.
Some primates go into torpor during the dry season. An example would be the behavior of dwarf lemurs. The animal's body does not receive nutrition, but uses up the fat reserves stored earlier.
Primates in nature often become food for predators; they are hunted by owls, snakes, and mongooses. A quarter of all mouse lemurs fall prey to natural enemies. Rapid reproduction helps maintain the population.
