Loris

Loris

There are 3 species of loris: the "slow loris", the "lesser slow loris" and the "slender loris". Closely related to their relatives in Madagascar, the lemur, they have enlarged thumbs and a small index finger. These very slow moving mammals have special blood vessels in their forearms which are capable of restricting blood flow, allowing the loris to remain clamped to a branch for long periods of time. This large eyed creature is a slow loris. MORE! [BM] {FW}
