Slender Loris

Slender Loris

The slender lorises (Loris) are a genus of loris native to India and Sri Lanka. Its local name is "Kutti thevangu". There are two known species:

  • The red slender loris, Loris tardigradus
  • The gray slender loris, Loris lydekkerianus

Some sources list only one species, Loris tardigradus and regard subspecies of lydekkerianus as subspecies instead of tardigradus.

Famous quotes containing the word slender:

    Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flow’r,
    Thou’s met me in an evil hour;
    For I maun crush amang the stoure
    Thy slender stem:
    To spare thee now is past my pow’r,
    Thou bonnie gem.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
