Slow Loris #1

in animal •  6 years ago

Plumploris (Nycticebus spp.), also called slow loris, are true artists of life. Their physique already reveals their survival strategy, because they are much more compact than their relatives, the Schlankloris. And of course there is a reason for this: this stronger physique is responsible for their slow locomotion, to which the Plumplori owes its English name.

These slow, inconspicuous movements should help, not to be discovered by enemies - also loud reputations, as usual with many day-active monkeys, refrain from it at all possible. The motto is only not to attract attention. But they use also its habitat high above in the trees of the Indonesian rain-forest for it. Plumploris can climb particularly well, because they possess more vertebrae than most mammals, what makes them particularly agile. Their food consists of fruits, insects and tree sap.
