Loridae.<\/p>\n<p>They are prosimians\u2014which means they are part of the oldest and most primitive group of primates<\/p>\n<p>Habitat: It is found in tropical primary and secondary rainforests, dry semi-deciduous forests, scrub, swamp, acacia, bamboo, edge, and montane cloud forest.<\/p>\n<p>Distribution: It is mainly found in southern India (mainly in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu) and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<p>Characteristics of Grey Slender Loris:<\/p>\n<p>It is a nocturnal hunter.<\/p>\n<p>It has no tail, its flexible spine and long limbs help it cross the canopy with agility.<\/p>\n<p>It has opposable thumbs which allow it to cling motionless for long periods.<\/p>\n<p>It has large, forward-facing eyes with extraordinary night vision.<\/p>\n<p>Communication: Gray slender lorises communicate using vocalizations and scent marking.<\/p>\n<p>Diet: It is almost entirely insectivorous, and more than half of its diet is composed of ants and termites.<\/p>\n<p>Threats: Illegal pet trade, hunting for body parts and roadside captures.<\/p>\n<p>Conservation Status of Grey Slender Loris:<\/p>\n<p>IUCN Red List: Near threatened<\/p>\n<p>CITES: Appendix II<\/p>\n<p>Wildlife
