Oh snap. Thats that animal that was in the movie with the talking zebra and that lion. Man, they did a good job rendering that thing in the movie.

It's a slow loris. Freakin adorable.

Slow lorises can produce a toxin which they mix with their saliva and use as protection against enemies. Mothers will lick this toxin onto their offspring before leaving them to search for food. The toxin is produced by glands on the insides of their elbows - the branchial region. The lorises lick or suck it into their mouths and deliver it when they bite. The toxin is not known to be fatal to humans, but causes a painful swelling. If the toxin does not deter a predator, the slow loris will often drop from the branch to the ground and roll into a protective ball.

Wash hands after handling!!

Interesting, and I see its still a primate, as I was getting that vibe from the video. That, and it kind of resembles the lemurs, wonder if they share evolutionary history.

Strange though, didn't know any primates could produce toxin. I want that feature dammit!

what is it?

Others answered already, but from my Intro to Anthropology course, it's a primate and a lemur/lorise. Can't believe they made me memorise that...

Or is it a cebid...
