  • Title: Extreme primates: Ecology and evolution of Asian lorises.
    Author: Nekaris KA.
    Journal: Evol Anthropol; 2014; 23(5):177-87. PubMed ID: 25347976.
    Abstract:
    Asia's slow and slender lorises (Nycticebus and Loris) are among nature's most extreme primates. Until recently, it was not understood why lorises have such huge forward-facing eyes, strange steady climbing locomotion, tiny dependent babies, and a bite that potentially can kill a human! Indeed, early studies described them as slow, solitary, and boring. Twenty years of field research now indicate that lorises are among the most intriguing mammal species.
