Slow lorises are rare, small mammals. They are nocturnal and live on trees in South East Asian countries like India or China. All Slow Lorises have a protecting layer over their eyes, which reflects the light. Cats have the same layer. They are venomous and scienceist still does not know the antidote. They also have opposable thumbs, so they can grab things without any troubles. Slow Lorises are considered to have supernatural powers and thought to cure about 100 diseases. They are killed so that they can be used as medicine. It has a patch filled with venom under its elbow used for protection against the predators. When faced with danger, loris licks its elbow and covers its teeth with poison. As soon as animal bites its enemy, it will deliver the venom.
There are people who want loris as their pet, which is illegal. But that doesn't mean they can't but it. This animals are very common in illegal pet trage, they have their front teeth cut or pulled before being sold as pets, due to their venom. This often causes infection and death. Poachers also keep lorises in small cages, which of course causes pain and can lead to death too. Similar things happens if they are forced to live in brightly lit room ((incredibly uncomfortable since they live at night in wild, causes pain and suffering)).
