The adorable Slow Loris

I’m sure you’ve all been talking about the Slow Loris for months without my knowledge, but just in case you missed the boat on this adorable creature like I did, here’s the cutest video I’ve ever seen.  Yes, I think it’s even cuter than kittens:

I was interested in knowing more about the Slow Loris, and found the website of an Australian researcher who’s raising an orphaned baby Loris.  Turns out the Loris is venomous, which might put a small crimp in my plans to have a whole houseful of them.  The Loris is an endangered species due to habitat destruction and its use in Asian medicine.  There’s a lot to love about Asian culture in general, but wow, I sure wish they’d use more Viagra and less tiger penis, for example.

  1. He looks like King Julian from “Madagascar”, who’s supposed to be a lemur.  I want one!

  2. Eh, after the first few bites, you’d build up immunity to the venom ;-)

  3. Oh, Helly’s tough.  She could fight off that Slow Loris venom like it was Pepsi put in front of her instead of Coke.  Helly lives in GA, home of Coke addicts - I guess I can’t fault her, I hate Coke as much as she hates Pepsi.
