0 a small primate (= a member of the most developed and intelligent group of mammals) that lives in trees in the forests of south and southeast Asia and is active at night. There are several species (= types) of loris:
It isn't often that the northern hairy-nosed wombat, the finger-sized slender loris, and the mountain pygmy possum share the spotlight.
Children adore the tiny wide-eyed, doll-like slow loris -"slow" because that is how he moves.
In more isolated areas you may see slow lorises (Nycticebus coucang), brush-tailed porcupines (Atherurus macrourus) and clawed otters (Aonyx cinerea).
