Possibly in Russia, where possession of the animal is legal, a slow loris proudly but slowly clutches his tiny umbrella. Say it with me now: aaaawww! -via Daily Picks and Flicks
The Horton Plains slender loris has never been photographed before, and was thought to have been extinct before a rare sighting in 2002. Now a team of researchers led by Saman Gamage have captured the tiny primate on camera in Sri Lanka.
The pictures show a 20-centimeter long male adult sitting on a forest branch forest. Conservationists have discovered it appears to have shorter and sturdier limbs than other loris; a possible adaptation for the cooler, high-altitude montane — or cloud — forest in which it lives.
That could mean the Horton Plains slender loris is a distinct species in its own right, said Gamage. Results of the study are published in the latest edition of the journal Primate Conservation.

Remember this cute little loris who loved getting tickled? Well, it seems it’s a she, her name is Sonya, she’s from Russia and she loves her worms! I’ve always been a sucker for a gal with big brown eyes. *swoon* 
TGIF Nom nom nom!
Keep watching to where he starts licking his little tiny hands. It’s fantasmical.
