As a 20 year veteran of the Slow Loris industry, I'd just like to thank you for ignorning these bleeding hearts, casting conscience to the wind, and supporting me, my fellow Slow Loris hunters, and our families. Thank you, sir.
Poor little guy.. :( They are an endangered species and have an extremely high mortality rate in captivity, they are meant to be in the wild. In Indonesia they are doing the impossible to keep these beautiful creatures out of harm's way.
Yeah, they're so much better off in the wild where their two sole concerns are A: figuring out where the next meal is coming from and B: making sure they're not something else's next meal. I know that generally keeps me at my happiest.
This is absolutely one if the cutest animals on earth. You know some idiots are going go out and try and buy one despite the fact that they are endangered, have higher mortality in captivity and have a toxic bite.
their so awesome! i wish i had one, but for the sake of their natural habitat i'd never own one. but i'd definitely this guy a visit to chill with his loris!
they shouldn't be kept as pets natural habitat is the forest not a house i think its sad that the loris is clinging to the table leg because it wants to climb but cant properly
Some Loris species are endangered because of the pet trade! Something you'll want to know if you find one as a pet - they mark their territory with urine; some wash their hands and feet in it and walk around. More commonly they lower their butt and urinate to mark as they walk. Also, to make this animal more "friendly" their teeth are removed without anesthesia. And a Loris can make their saliva toxic, causing anaphylactic shock!
aaww! that's so cute! the slow loris is such an adorable animal! *.* i would love to have one of those in my house but unfortunately that kind of animals belong to the nature and that means that they need to be on their habitat!
A comment mentions some animals need to be hand-raised and often end-up in sanctuaries: this is one of them. The 3 ioris species are strange, not only extremely social pets, but in the wild live in isolation (or small groups), so sanctuaries can be stressful. Their teeth are usually removed before sale, or else they can deliver a toxin (sucked from glands in the elbow); I know of no humane method of this removal yet, which poses dietary problems. Breeding programs (vs. importing) are needed.
It would be so nice to watch this animal in its natural enviroment !!! Wild life must be that: WILD !!! If somebody needs a pet, there are many cats and dogs living in streets, needing a loving home. People who takes wild animals out from their natural habitats, neather loves them nor respects them.
i wanted one too, until i learned that they are poached, for people to have cute pets. and they have their teeth ripped out so they cant bite you with the venom they make out of their elbows
this is a wild animal not a pet and it should never be treated otherwise. exotic animal trade is destroying ecosystems all over the world and its really sad :( that said THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVURRRRRRRRRRRR xD
If what trollplane said, about it being an endangered species and that their teeh are pulled out by market dealers, I think the people involved should receive the same treatment.
they're only poisonous if they lick the secretion from their elbows when they're stressed and THEN proceed to bite you, otherwise, it's totally harmless.
OMG soooooooo cute...nd very small.. u have to be carefull when u touch it, if someone touch it to hard maybe something will break.. but this is realyyy realyyy a very very cute animal
I find it ironic so many people who are all about nature are on youtube. This thing is cute and I would love to see some bred for captive life, way to cute to let natural selection have its way with them. Unless your these other nature lovers because they seem all to cool with that.
i can't belive how selfish people are by keeping these cute things in an apartment rather than leaving them where their home is. they seriously don't deserve this just for your entertainment!
If these animals are endangered it would be best to keep them alive by raising them in captivity where they are not hurt. Hamsters are nocturnal and wild as well, no one complains about that. All animals were wild at some point. If the animal is being very well taken care of, gets proper food and a dark place to sleep; I see no problem with it. What is a problems are the illegal sellers and those who buy them illegally. Its not the obvious good owners who should be yelled at.
LMAO i showed mi freinds this vid and it was hilarious. 1 of them is kinda sarcastic person & all u hear is the music playin & i was laughin SO hard! soooo cute :) :P
OK, I have 1 simple rule! Anything this cute must be evil incarnate! EVIL I tell you, EVIL!!! I'll bet it was ploting world domination the whole time this was being filmed! You've all been warned.
These animals must live in captivity, I cant imagine them in the wild world out there... they have to live with humans. No kidding, but you get the point
OK, hear me out here. Before you get a loris, think about the following. A pet loris is a bad idea. They are a wild animal, illegal to own, and despite their cute appearance they have several characteristics which make them a terrible choice for a pet. First of all, if you find a pet loris it will most likely have its canine teeth broken or pulled out by the seller so it can't bite. Having these teeth removed also means the loris will not be able to properly eat the foods it normally. peace
No, jesko is right. Privately owning this animal is illegal, and most people who own one get them from traffickers who are often very cruel to these animals. They have a bite that is poisonous, sometimes deadly, to humans, and urinate very frequently to mark their territory. Humans are most often unable to provide the animal's natural diet, and for this and other reasons, they have an extremely high death rate in captivity. They are very cute, but just should not be kept as pets.
You're right of course, ex-situ conservation is the only way for some highly endangered species. However, I believe that conservation should be handled by the experts, usually in zoos. This loris is now a pet and would be unsuitable for releasing back into the wild. Thus, I don't feel that laypeople keeping exotic pets is doing any good to those species' wild populations, although it may raise awareness via youtube cuteness!
Aww cutie :) as for the comments about it should be in the wild well i somewhat agree. If you think about it all animals were wild at one time before becoming domesticated . and domesticated animals are far from extinct. Yet wild animals become extinct or close to it all the time. So i say well if the owner knows what there doing and are taking good care of it with kindness then why not? Id rather see it alive with people then dead in the wild.
The threat brought on by keeping them as pets is largely on the human side since they are venomous and have extremely sharp canines (unless removed). The most serious threat to their species is from deforestation and urban sprawl. Also, at least by showing this video people start to learn this animal even exists.
zofspade, I guess that's why they are still around! I read in National Geographic that the pets are defanged, and they are endangered species. I guess these people won't be able to show their grand children a living one, but at least they'll have the you tube videos to show them!
poor baby is scared to death and probably just wants to go back home :( with it's teeth put back.
These are just about the sweetest things in the land! We have one at the Calgary Zoo, and it's my favourite thing!!

The scared look is their NATURAL look....this little one doesn't look bothered or put out at all. It looks very well loved.....
This cute lil Loris belongs in the wild, jumping tree to tree....i hope he is happy!
Yeah, they're so much better off in the wild where their two sole concerns are A: figuring out where the next meal is coming from and B: making sure they're not something else's next meal. I know that generally keeps me at my happiest.
Isn't it illegal to keep a slow loris as a pet? they're endangered
I agree-- the slow loris, cute as it is, belongs in the wild, not an apartment.
I like how the music went with the video
I didn't even know you could have one as a pet...it is cute!
omg its so freaken cute it looks kinda of like a little bear with those eys omg so cute, thanks for the vid we just loved it!
oh, please, it gets fed and has a loving home without any fear of being eaten. it's livin better than any slow loris in the wild.
This is absolutely one if the cutest animals on earth. You know some idiots are going go out and try and buy one despite the fact that they are endangered, have higher mortality in captivity and have a toxic bite.
their so awesome!
i wish i had one,
but for the sake of their natural habitat i'd never own one.
but i'd definitely this guy a visit to chill with his loris!
This is the coolest animal ever!!! I want one now!
I agree-- these animals, adorable as they are, belong in the wild; not an apartment.
It is awsome! It looks like King Julian from Madagascar. :))) Adorable animal!
the music that starts at around 1:27 is AWESOME. i cant get enough of it.
they shouldn't be kept as pets natural habitat is the forest not a house i think its sad that the loris is clinging to the table leg because it wants to climb but cant properly
ok..honestly it's movments scared the crap out of me , especially when it was looking at the pen, but then again it's cute.
This animal is venomous. A bite can be dangerous. But it's still one of the cutest animals i know
This is cruel
The music is very fitting, man. I never knew the loris was actually that slow, but I think that's just 'cos I'm dumb.

oh god im gonna cry this is to adorable xx
aaww! that's so cute!
the slow loris is such an adorable animal! *.*
i would love to have one of those in my house but unfortunately that kind of animals belong to the nature and that means that they need to be on their habitat!
That is just the cutest little thing!!
That music was perfect for that little guy
I feel sad when I see something like this in someone's home when it should be out in the wild.
Amazing animals, anything that hunts insects by stealth is utterly badass.
A comment mentions some animals need to be hand-raised and often end-up in sanctuaries: this is one of them. The 3 ioris species are strange, not only extremely social pets, but in the wild live in isolation (or small groups), so sanctuaries can be stressful.

Karaf...zay el 3afreet. Dastoor Bismallah...Wallah fadyeen el ash-ghal.
it is seriously the most fucking adorable animal I have ever seen! If I could find one I would buy it in a heart beat.
this is the cutest little thing!! I want one!
Best creature on earth. I think I'll call him Charles the third.
Having this as a pet is sick. 1*
It would be so nice to watch this animal in its natural enviroment !!! Wild life must be that: WILD !!!
If somebody needs a pet, there are many cats and dogs living in streets, needing a loving home.
People who takes wild animals out from their natural habitats, neather loves them nor respects them.
the love child of a meerkat and a bushbaby!!! lol
Aww that is just awsome! Really cute.
Slow loris = The stoner of the animal world.
i wanted one too, until i learned that they are poached, for people to have cute pets. and they have their teeth ripped out so they cant bite you with the venom they make out of their elbows
this is a wild animal not a pet and it should never be treated otherwise. exotic animal trade is destroying ecosystems all over the world and its really sad :(
that said THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVURRRRRRRRRRRR xD
This is so cute it hurts to watch.
this really is the funniest song in the world.
Best song ever.
If what trollplane said, about it being an endangered species and that their teeh are pulled out by market dealers, I think the people involved should receive the same treatment.
The loris is my god, my savior and my salvation! ALL PRAISE THE LORIS!
Oh my god, I love this little creature. I want to be its friend so bad.
I can show it many tables!
they're only poisonous if they lick the secretion from their elbows when they're stressed and THEN proceed to bite you, otherwise, it's totally harmless.
it's a cute animal but i hear they are endangered and die outside of their natural habitat :(
OMG the cutest thing EVER......but leave 'em to the pros, folks.
OMG soooooooo cute...nd very small.. u have to be carefull when u touch it, if someone touch it to hard maybe something will break.. but this is realyyy realyyy a very very cute animal
I find it ironic so many people who are all about nature are on youtube. This thing is cute and I would love to see some bred for captive life, way to cute to let natural selection have its way with them. Unless your these other nature lovers because they seem all to cool with that.
humans should absolutely NEVER keep fellow primates as pets... EVER.
It looks so...edible.
aww such a cute dog
I like how one of the "related videos" is the harlequin baby... lol
No i didn't know that, i thought the Platypus was the only venomous mammal! Very interesting...
There actually endangered and the only way that their still alive is by being kept in captivity.
i can't belive how selfish people are by keeping these cute things in an apartment rather than leaving them where their home is. they seriously don't deserve this just for your entertainment!
that thing is totally stoned
I agree! It is NOT a pet. I cried when i saw this. How dare you take a wild animal away from it's natural home. Barbaric.
there like the cutest animals alive
Those look like they would be fun for about one week, then it's back to playing with the poor neglected dog.
That "thing" is creepy as hell..! :O It's sooooo slow.. I'm like waiting it for ATTACKING the camera! :D Like! All of a sudden and relly fast!
If these animals are endangered it would be best to keep them alive by raising them in captivity where they are not hurt.

Cutest thing I've ever seen in my life.
So cute :)
Looks like he is sufferer from "slow motionolozis" :)
LMAO i showed mi freinds this vid and it was hilarious. 1 of them is kinda sarcastic person & all u hear is the music playin & i was laughin SO hard!
soooo cute :) :P
excellent binocular vision
OK, I have 1 simple rule! Anything this cute must be evil incarnate! EVIL I tell you, EVIL!!! I'll bet it was ploting world domination the whole time this was being filmed! You've all been warned.
It's an African Bush Baby.
because they are fucking awesome, just look at the little feller he is having a whale of a time
more honest than most of humans
These animals must live in captivity, I cant imagine them in the wild world out there... they have to live with humans. No kidding, but you get the point
The moral of the story here is that if you're cute enough, people don't mind you humping their furniture, it seems.
thats a slow loris, they live in asia, but they're critically endangered.
This is so cute but I think he should be in the nature.....
Oh my good, the speed is neck breaking.
OK, hear me out here. Before you get a loris, think about the following.

this music inspires violence
I WANT ONE!!
lolx
so adorable x
This makes my day so much better whenever I watch these videos :)
loove the music!!!

Interesting Lemur. Looks a lot like the Lemur Mort from the Madagascar movie.
they are deadly :D i just cant imagine that its the same as when you see greanpeace killing animals or something :P TO CUTE
All it takes to domesticate an animal is for it to be born in captivity.
In which case it doesn't take "Generations" to domesticate a wild animal.
You're right of course, ex-situ conservation is the only way for some highly endangered species. However, I believe that conservation should be handled by the experts, usually in zoos. This loris is now a pet and would be unsuitable for releasing back into the wild.

it's like half hamster and half koala
Aww cutie :)

Great Song and great animal :-)
LOL cutest animal ever and cute music!! :P Where did you get it?
They aren't endangered.
Yeah. They should be everywhere. Because so many people want them as pets, their populations are dropping dramatically.
zofspade, I guess that's why they are still around! I read in National Geographic that the pets are defanged, and they are endangered species. I guess these people won't be able to show their grand children a living one, but at least they'll have the you tube videos to show them!
love the music!
This loris is unhappy.
