jmatts78 says: I definitely want one! Uhm... on second thought, maybe not: Slow lorises can produce a toxin which they mix with their saliva to 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 lorises suck it into their mouths and deliver it when they bite or lick.[6] Loris bites cause a painful swelling, and the toxin has been found fatal. Cases of human death have been due to anaphylactic shock.[7] 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. They are toooooooooo sweet but I don't want one. I prefer to just know they are alive and have habitat to live in and if by chance I happen to be lucky enough to see one in the wild - that would be a huge bliss!!! I agree with dancer but they are still so cute. I love their big eyes! hhhhhmmmm, do i want it? do i want it? do i want it? YESSSSS, I WANT IT!!! (the caterpiller) good thing they eat caterpillers, they'd never catch anything else!! notice the tweezer's holding the caterpiller..... |
