Slow loris

Slow Lorises tend to spend most of the night foraging alone, but little is known about their social structure. During the day, sluggish lorises normally sleep alone, but this does happen on occasion. Adults’ home ranges may overlap greatly, and males’ tend to be greater than females’. Slow lorises are known as ‘malu malu’, or ‘shy one’, in Indonesia because they freeze and hide their faces when approached.
