Slender Loris
The slender lorises (Loris) are a genus of loris native to India and Sri Lanka. Its local name is "Kutti thevangu". There are two known species:
- The red slender loris, Loris tardigradus
- The gray slender loris, Loris lydekkerianus
Some sources list only one species, Loris tardigradus and regard subspecies of lydekkerianus as subspecies instead of tardigradus.
Famous quotes containing the word slender:
“What slender youth, bedewed with liquid odours
Courts thee on roses in some pleasant cave,
Pyrrha? For whom bind’st thou
In wreaths thy golden hair,
Plain in thy neatness?”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
