Loris tardigradus at Antwerp zoo
I curse myself for not having a better photo, but the circumstances were really difficult. This is the night zone of the Antwerp zoo, where it almost fully dark during the day, to stimulate activity from these nocturnal species. These little primates a very active, beautiful and absolutely hilarious in their facial expressions.
The red slender loris is a small, nocturnal strepsirrhine primate native to the rainforests of Sri Lanka. This is #6 of the 10 focal species and #22 of the 100 EDGE mammal species worldwide considered the most Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered....hieroglyph snipped... Two subspecies have been identified, ''L. t. tardigradus'' and ''L. t. nycticeboides''.
