Range/Habitat
The general geographic range for all slow loris species.
What is Southeast Asia?
The type of diet that slow lorises have. Generally, they can eat anything from fruits and gums to bird eggs and small vertebrates.
What is omnivorous?
The activity pattern of the slow loris.
What is nocturnal?
The way that slow lorises can protect themselves from predators. The most unique trait that separates them from all other primates.
What is a venomous bite?
Perhaps the biggest threat to N. menagensis. Sadly, many supposed "cute" animal videos are due to this threat.
What is the illegal pet trade?
The specific geographical range for N. menagensis. They don't only reside in the place from their common name.
What is Northeast Borneo and Southern Philippine Islands?
A feature of the slow loris' mouth that they share with other strepsirrhines. It makes for an interesting trip to the dentist.
What is a tooth comb?
Slow lorises live this way, though they still communicate with others of their species. You could maybe just call the entire species introverted.
What is solitary?
Slow lorises can be found around this other group of nocturnal species. They can be strange though, as they have both strepsirrhine and anthropoid features.
What are tarsiers?
This is a reason for forest decline that threatens N. menagensis. These monotypic farms are a threat to many other primate species as well.
What are palm oil plantations.
The type of forests that N. menagensis can be found in.
What are coastal and montane forests?
The unique ringed pattern of their face around their large, forward-facing eyes may be why these animals are called "loris", which means this in Dutch.
What is clown?
The locomotion technique of slow lorises. They will move methodically through the forest, with a front hand followed by the opposite foot and vice versa.
What is arboreal slow climbing?
This great ape can sometimes be found hunting N. menagensis. They are also known as the largest arboreal mammal.
What are orangutans?
An expedition to the Philippines found a possible specimen of N. menagensis during this decade in the 1800s. The specimen was lost, giving insight into the struggles with trying to study this species that continue to this day.

What is 3-35 ha?
This is the part of the slow loris' body that produces a secretion that, when added to their saliva, creates a venomous bite.
What is the brachial gland?
The sleep sites of slow lorises where they sleep near other individuals also shares this name of the sleep sites of grouped humans. Only, humans live in their own houses in these places.
What is a "neighborhood"?
N. menagensis have to keep their head in the game when their abundance rises. The appearance of other species can cause the number of N. menagensis to increase, which in turn causes this to occur.
What is higher competition?
This is the number of studies focused on N. menagensis from the Philippines. It is 4.63% of 107, if you can do quick mental math.
What is 5?
