Slender lorises  (Loris tardigradus and Loris lydekkerianus)

Description

The most distinguishing characteristics of the slender lorises are their very long, slender arms and legs, which give these species their names (4). They usually have a grey or reddish coat, although this varies according to subspecies, and the fur is soft, thick and woolly. Slender lorises do not have tails and move on all fours climbing or walking along branches (5). They do not have truly opposable thumbs and are only able to grasp things like food or branches with the whole hand, though they do have an extremely powerful grip (2). The eyes are large and round and the prominent ears are thin, rounded and naked at the edges (5). There is much confusion over slender loris classification (2).
