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 flowr,
Thous met me in an evil hour;
For I maun crush amang the stoure
Thy slender stem:
To spare thee now is past my powr,
Thou bonnie gem.”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
