Red Slender Loris ~ Loris tardigradus![]() General Information Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Suborder: Strepsirrhini Family: Lorisidae Genus: Loris Species: Loris tardigradus Location ![]() Conservation Status ![]() Sizes
In Zoos Type of Exhibit: As Slender Lorises are nocturnal, it is advised to keep them in a nocturnal house so visitors will be able to see them during the day. Keeping them outside is a possibility in warmer climates as long as an indoor enclosure/nesting box is provided where they can stay during the day (however as they would rarely show themselves during the day, a nocturnal house works better). The enclosure needs lots of branches and vegetation as these animals spend most of their time in the trees. Temperament: They are rather slow, docile animals. Diet: They are primarily insectivorous but also eat bird eggs, berries, leaves, buds and occasionally invertebrates as well as geckos and lizards. To maximize protein and nutrient uptake they consume every part of their prey, including the scales and bones. Social Needs: It forms small social groups, containing adults of both sexes as well as young animals. This species is among the most social of the nocturnal primates. So it is advised to keep multiple individuals. Extra Information:
