Slow loris loves getting tickled (omg cutest thing evah)

\@_@/

Puppy lullabye works.

Far too cute.

Defense
Slow lorises can produce a toxin which they mix with their saliva and 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 branchial region. The lorises lick or suck it into their mouths and deliver it when they bite. The toxin is not known to be fatal to humans, but causes a painful swelling. 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.

aw!

I love that little monster! That vid belongs in the thread about people going apeshit over animals on youtube.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Man I love a loris.

I would tickle all the whatever the plural of loris is.

I think it is lorises.

See I am sure you now think pro-simians to be superior to the chimpanzee.

I never liked chimps - I like orang utans! I gotta admit though the pro-simians are definitely growing on me.

my cat goes all loris-like when you rub her belly like that, except her look is more "i will tolerate this for the moment" than happy smiley.

Hedgehog eating carrot is pretty cute too:

Right. No more youtube links then (or is this "embedding disabled by request" something I did?)

It's something the YouTube poster decides when they upload the video.

works just fine if you double-click

that loris is my inspiration for the day. the arms in the air are like he's going "WINNER!!!"

Puppy Lullaby is kinda killing me.

i have to admit that yes this is the cutest thing evah

If this is a poll I vote for the litter of boxer babies.

I keep showing the original post to people while nearly dying of cute reactions, but most people just seem to find it really creepy.

They're just dumb then because it's one of the cutest things ever!

So basically Sonya gets to eat, be tickled, nap, eat be tickled again and be adored by millions. Not to shabby.

Add some fucking there and it's my dream.

HA! As I clicked "submit post" I swear that I thought to myself that you were going to reply with something to that effect.

OK I just watched the boxer lullaby thing. Dear God - they're wonderful!

If I hadn't read that it's really cruel to have one of these things as a pet I would totally want one they make me want to die they are so cute!

also couldn't they totally zap you with their poison armpits?

It's not cruel to have me as a pet though. Where is a girl who will take me as her slow loris?

I didn't know I made that facial expression until just now, so um, thanks Tuomas, I suppose.

Not Slow but Slender

Slow Loris getting born recently at a zoo near where I live:

Oh, that's also a slender loris, not a slow one.

ummm

Oh man, cognitive dissonance.

a) One of the cutest things I have ever seen and I WANT ONE.
b) I'm guessing this isn't at a rescue shelter but rather a loris abducted from the wild and sold as a pet, which is really really really bad.

I know. :(

But maybe they love it and treat it really well and give it a nice little place to live that's just like its normal habitat and maybe it has other Slow Loris friends. I'm going to pretend that's the case anyway because, well, DID YOU SEE IT HOLDING THE TINY UMBRELLA?!

Should have soundtracked the video with Rihanna.

lol

why people keep exotics as pets angers me. I hope a monkey rips their face off one day.

paul mcgann-narrated documentary on slow lorises on bbc iplayer atm featuring the all-time line

"with its silent approach, the loris is like a deadly ninja"

an adorable ninja

yeah i saw that, they excrete venom from their armpits that they get from eating poisonous insects.

"with its silent approach, the loris is like a deadly ninja"

"like"?

Reminder that the owning of slow loris as pet is de facto animal cruelty and abuse
