When I saw the Loris in the wild for the first time, it was in the middle of the night, in a chance sighting, after waiting for hours in a forest service bus... That same night, a leopard tried to climb our bus! This was pre-digital-photography, so any shots we took turned out to be blank. Still, what's the point if somebody captures the animal and parades it in front of you? That's what zoos are for! What’s the fun in that?

Buff loris FTW. Maybe they need to bulk up a bit so they can fight back. Buff loris FTW.
