Loris is the common name for the strepsirrhine mammals of the subfamily Lorinae [1] Lorisinae [2] Lorisidae . Loris is one genus in this subfamily and includes the slender lorises , Nycticebus is the genus containing the slow lorises , and Xanthonycticebus is the genus name of the pygmy slow loris .
Description
[ edit ]
Lorises are nocturnal and arboreal .[3] tropical and woodland forests of India, Sri Lanka, and parts of southeast Asia . Their locomotion is a slow and cautious climbing form of quadrupedalism . Some lorises are almost entirely insectivorous , while others also include fruits , gums , leaves , and slugs in their diet.[4] [page needed
Lorises, like most strepsirrhines, have a special adaptation called a "toothcomb " in their lower front teeth, which they use for grooming their fur and even injecting their venom.[5]
Female lorises practice infant parking , leaving their infants behind in trees or bushes. Before they do this, they bathe their young with allergenic saliva that is acquired by licking patches on the insides of their elbows which produce a mild toxin that discourages most predators ,[4] orangutans occasionally eat lorises.[6]
Taxonomic classification
[ edit ]
The family Lorisidae is found within the infraorder Lemuriformes and superfamily Lorisoidea , along with the family Galagidae, the galagos . This superfamily is a sister taxon of Lemuroidea, the lemurs . Within Lorinae, there are ten species (and several more subspecies) of lorises across three genera:[1]
