Is a slow loris dangerous?

Yes! Whilst the slow loris may look like the perfect pet, they are extremely venomous and powerful nocturnal predators. These animals have huge eyes which mean they have incredible eyesight, helping them to detect and ambush their prey, even in the dark. As the world's only venomous primate, they make their lethal toxin by licking their brachial gland (in their armpits) and mixing their saliva with the oil. Ew!
