Slender loris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[Photo] Red Slender Loris (Loris tardigradus) Photo by Sandilya Theuerkauf, Wynaad
The slender lorises are two species of loris, the only members of the genus Loris:
the Red Slender Loris, Loris tardigradus
the Gray Slender Loris, Loris lydekkerianus
Some sources list only one species, Loris tardigradus and regard subspecies of lydekkerianus as subspecies instead, of tardigradus.
