5. Slow Movements
As their name suggests, slow lorises move deliberately and slowly, using their strong grip and specialized hands and feet to navigate through the trees. This deliberate movement helps them blend in with their surroundings and conserve energy.
6. Parental Care
Slow lorises exhibit strong bonds between mothers and their offspring. Young lorises cling to their mother's belly for the first few months of their lives before becoming more independent.
7. They Have to Tongues
The slow loris has two different types of tongues, each one with a different purpose. One of their tongues is designed to help them drink the nectar from fruits, like the fruit bat’s tongue.
The other is rougher and is used as a toothbrush to help keep their teeth clean. Because they eat a lot of fruit, they consume a large amount of natural sugar. This cleaning tongue helps ward off diseases that would make it difficult to eat or protect themselves, like tooth decay.
