Tuesday, September 25, 2012 4:52:38 AM never heard of a loris before. just did my research and i am once again appalled at the pet trade. i love pets, but most animals should not be pets and even for the ones that are well domesticated most people are not capable of properly taking care of them. |

Monday, September 24, 2012 9:35:47 PM @jhylla right you are slow loris is a rare mammal that has a 'toxic' bite. The pet traders remove their teeth for that reason. This little baby is harmless though. @ zuriel right you are about the homework, you should do yours. Platypus males have 'venomous' back spurs. Their bite is fine though.

Monday, September 24, 2012 2:45:50 PM What makes it especially interesting is the Loris is the only poisonous mammal on Earth. So having it clinging to the back of your head isn't very smart. |

Monday, September 24, 2012 2:03:01 PM Why are we all condemning her? Just looking at the background I would guess she's in the same neighborhood of it's habitat. Maybe she is working in a facility that helps injured animals or something. |

Monday, September 24, 2012 12:08:11 PM I'm sure nobody here would consider buying one as a pet because it is cute. That would take stupidity well past the point of moral culpability. |

Monday, September 24, 2012 11:23:21 AM Owning a slow loris is either dangerous or cruel or both. They are poisonous so you either have to surgically remove their glands or take the risk. |
