Description

I saw a program on these little guys on Animal planet last night and I fell in love <3 They really are fascinating creatures. They are venomous primates! This is due to their diet of poisonous spiders and insects, which they just love <3 I thought this was so cool because spiders give me the creeps! Although these guys are adorable, they must NEVER be made into pets. It really broke my heart to hear that they are being wiped out by the illegal pet trade. Thousands of lorises are sold on the black market. When they are caught their teeth are pulled out by the poachers, they use anesthesia, but you can only imagine how terrifying it must be to these little creatures. What really tore me up inside was when I was looking for reference photos of these guys I found that most of them where pictures of them as pets :( Sadly Lorises do not live very long outside of their native home. It may be too late for these little guys... but I really hope not.
