They survive because all the predators think it is too cute to kill.

Slow lorises actually excrete a toxin from their elbows (no, I’m not making that up) which they lick off. They use this to defend themselves via biting, and mothers cover their young with it while they search for food.
Evolution is ace.

“CWI has been working hard to support Cambodias efforts to protect a small, nocturnal primate, the Slow Loris (Nycticebus spp.) whos fate rests at the hands of poachers which sell the animals on pet markets and for Traditional Medicine.”

Thank you pebbe I was just about to mention this. While they are very cute, it is most likely this creature was forcibly taken from the wild (probably as an infant) to be sold to some rich Tourist. But who knows, maybe there is another explanation. Maybe it was rescued.

Yes, they do live in trees. This is the sort of creature from which we evolved.

rich tourists? PLZ. 20 dollars in indonesia free animal trade market. NOT that rich. Unless you count the flying to indonesia, then getting a permit to bring it to america or whereever, then paying for transportation of a live animal.
