These videos are misunderstood by most who watch them. It's illegal in most countries to own them as pets and slow lorises in videos are docile as it's their passive defensive reaction to threatening situations. Please read the page on slow lorises on Wikipedia. If you love these animals educate yourself especially before thinking of having one as a pet & watch the YouTube BBC documentary, Jungle Gremlins of Java. Pet trade directly contributes to their extinction.
That is not "Im so happy" body language for a small primate. That's a gesture of surrender and submission. You're basically scaring the hell out of it and it's begging you to stop. For reals.
@SquillagusNiggle actually know the slow loris has poison on that part of his body which when mixed with saliva it becomes deadly; anyways its not a reaction to be worried about.
There is now a full version of the wonderful documentary on the slow loris, Jungle Gremlins of Java, here on YouTube. Search for it as 'BBC Natural World: Jungle Gremlins of Java' and scroll down beyond the ones that are divided in parts, and you should find the one you can view, all in one part, posted by eDocumentaryVIDEO. Please, everyone, if you love the slow loris, watch this documentary.
Please google "Jungle Gremlins of Java" if you think you want one of these as a pet. The animals are illegally caught in Indonesia and other countries for the pet trade. They are treated inhumanely - teeth ripped out, kept in airless boxes which are thrown about as if they are nothing more than stones, & then sold as 'pets' because they are cute. Some 'exotic' animals don't have to have their teeth ripped out to be sold as pets, these do. The extractions cause infections and sometimes death.
This is very sad and sick!! You should not have this as a pet, because they are on the verge of extinction, and the loris put's his arm's up, not because he "like" it, but he feel's in danger, and normally in the jungle from his arms their comes a poison..so this is not funny, and it's really really sad and sick, you should go to jail for buying one..
The slow lorris is an endagered species. If you think this slow loris was cute and beautiful then don't think "i want one of these", think "i want to save these creatures" The illegal pet trade is the reason these animals are becoming extinct and videos like these are fueling this.
While I believe that it is wrong to take these animals from the wild, I doubt it would lead to their extinction. Look at Cats and Dogs...now domesticated and bread for pets. This could happen to the Slow Loris and thus save them from extinction. Note...I said COULD.
The reason for their popularity according to the Japan Wildlife Conservation Society are they're easy to keep, don't cry, they're small and cute and that the slow lorises in the videos (like this) are only docile because that is their PASSIVE DEFENSIVE REACTION TO THREATENING SITUATIONS. Their front teeth are cut before being sold as pets- animal dealers pull the front teeth with pliers, wire cutters or nail cutters and results in severe bleeding, can cause shock or death, fatal in 90% of cases.
@TheMattyboomsticks Everyone read Matty's comment. We are killing and torturing these beautiful and unique endangered amimals, because we want them for our Tickle pets!
Please know that any slow loris that is turned into a pet has undergone extreme cruelty - its teeth pulled or cut out. Also the pet trade of these animals is contributing to their extinction. Google "Little Fireface Project" and help save the loris by asking for such videos to be removed and informing others about the situation.
Yeah okay, this video probably is cute to most people, but people need to stop saying that they want one. do any of you who watch this realise that this slow loris does not have any teeth? because people who pet trade cut their teeth off with nail clippers in the pet trade because they are venemous when they pull them out when people buy them.

well it doesnt look like its starving or anythings. wtf people, stop ur bitchen, u people who judge people like those who look like they are taking care of it, make me sick. f all u haters
@PartFeminist18 It's not an issue of taking good care of it. Taking it out of the wild to be sold ILLEGALLY as a pet and pulling its teeth out so it can never be re-released means the natural population suffers and it will become extinct in the wild.
@PartFeminist18 theyre obviously not taking care of it putting it through pain and there should be more 'haters' cos there the ones who actually care and really youre the haters so 'f you' PATHETIC
Thanks for all the concerned comments. I totally agree. Although I do not agree with censorship, Mass disgust with the content must surely say something to the channel owner. It would seem a cruel expense to the Loris to host such a popular video.
Idiots who put up this videa, these are not pets, if they are pets they've probably had their teeth extracted by the people that sold it, you should be ashamed to own it. Very disturbing.
They are extremely rare animals, the fact you have this as a pet annoys me I hope the BBC message gets across to people that do not realise, any animal that comes from the wild belongs in the wild simple end of. WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY ON THIS ANIMAL!
>>>>> BBC Natural World (Jungle Gremlins of Java).
I am very disturbed by this video after doing some research. The people who have this animal should have researched it before having it as a pet and if they still have it, they need to do the responsible thing and turn it over to someone who knows how to care for it better. Pet poaching must be stopped!!
i'm so glad to have come onto this video and seen so many comments about the illegal pet trade and the fact that slow lorises are endangered. watching the bbc documentary on them broke my heart but at least now i know.
having watched this video, now watch the bbc documentary Natural World - Jungle Gremlins of Java (especially the final two minutes). these animals are not pets.
Dont know much about these animals. However, if you are going to own any animal i think you should learn all about it prior to purchase so that the animal can be well looked after.
The problem with videos of 'cute' animals is that it fuels demand for the loris as pets. That demand is partially satisfied by animals taken from the wild. This video could be instrumental in causing the extinction of a threatened species. Would you please consider making the positive step of removing the Loris video from Youtube to help the cause of this species.
@vincewilkinson Why should this species be saved? There are all kinds of species dieing everyday and there are many species humans never saw. I think its better to cuddle those guys to extinction rather than eat them or kill for pleasure.
@r2d2rx I find it interesting you ask this question at all. Why do you (with the emphasis on your understanding of nature of our planet) think species are going extinct, and what impact do you think extinctions have? Do you think we should actively seek to destroy species such as the slow loris either by exploiting them for short term commercial reasons or hunting them to extinction for our own needs. Do you think conservation of species has no value for humanity.
@neobiognosis Species are going extinct because of different reasons, not all of them are man-made. You use the word "or" between "commercial reasons" and "hunting for our needs". Thats wrong. "commercial reasons" have the same justification: We need it and want it. I dont think conservation of all species (which is impossible, because some species are -naturally - by themselves - going extinct) has value for humanity.
@r2d2rx Estimating extinction rates is difficult to do accurately, but researchers have fixed the ambient rate prior to the neolithic at one species per million per year, that is the natural level. The explosion of weaponry during and after the neolithic saw a huge increase of the extinction rate. During the 20th century the causes of extinction intensified. The best estimates for current extinction rates are between 1000 to 10000 species per million per year.
@neobiognosis In some cases humans and animals are interdependent, e.g. we need the bees for many different plants and the cows if we like milk. But sorry why does it make me complacent if i dont care about arabic waterbirds or some fishes in the atlantic.
There are about 1 million insect species. Do you think the reduction of this number to 100000 would decrease the well-being of humans? (beetle collectors excluded).
I share the opinion of "George Carlin - Saving the Planet" video
@r2d2rx "In some cases humans and animals are interdependent" - And we understand those interdependencies? On the Barro Colorado Island no one expected the extinction of the large predators on the island, Jaguars, Pumas and Harpy Eagles, to cause the extinction of the little antbird and a total change in the makeup of vegetation and tree size of the Islands forrest, but it did.
@neobiognosis "Let me tell you about endangered species, all right? Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control Nature! It's arrogant meddling! It's what got us into trouble in the first place! Doesn't anybody understand that? Interfering with Nature! Over 90 percent.. over... way over 90 percent of all the species that have ever lived — EVER LIVED — on this planet are gone. Whissshht! They are extinct!" George Carlin.
@r2d2rx "It's arrogant meddling!" You come from a species that has devastated life on islands across the world. Some 9000 species of birds in the Pacific islands alone, and you say conservation is arrogant because you saw a video once on Youtube of an American comedian who said so! You are sad!
@neobiognosis Well u dont seem to understand George Carlins pessimistic attitude. Out of that perspective, he sees the fucked up humanity and all the idiotic things we do as just another product of this earth. "The planet will be here and we'll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet will shake us off like a bad case of fleas. A surface nuisance."
@r2d2rx "he sees the fucked up humanity and all the idiotic things we do as just another product of this earth" - That may be the case, but we don't have to 'take out' millions of species as we go.
@r2d2rx Yes, 90% of all species that ever lived are possible extinct. Here comes Homo Sapiens (The thinking ape - r2d2rx the psudonym of a thinking ape that names himself after a fictional character out of fantasy film being one example of the species). And we could be the first species that knowingly destroys the world and itself by gossly stupid mis-management of the earths resources.
@neobiognosis What is the extinction of 3 ugly birds compared to our direct influence on the whole planet with nuclear plants/weapons, overexploitation of natural ressources (coal, oil, rainforest), chemical waste. Biodiversity does play a role in the whole biosphere we live in, but it isnt a big role. As i said, just a few of all those different species are absolutely necessary for humanity to live in a "friendly" environment.
@r2d2rx "but it isnt a big role" - You obviously have not read widely about this subject. I would recommend E.O.Wilson or Jared Diamond rather than comedians. They tend not to have the depth of understanding of scientists. We cannot judge the significance of any species as we do not understand the complexity of relationships that exist between species. The effect of taking out small species can have big effects.
@neobiognosis The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We've been here, what? A hundred thousand? Maybe two hundred thousand? And we've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred years versus four and a half billion. And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we're a threat? That somehow we're gonna put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that's just a-floatin' around the sun?
@r2d2rx "And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we're a threat?" - Before Homo Sapiens left Africa, every continent had successful eco-systems with a variety of large animals. Everywhere man settled, mass extinctions followed. Europe, Asia, Australia, America all lost countless species upon the arrival of mankind.
@r2d2rx Madagascar had giant tortoises, dozens of species of flighltess birds including the elephant bird, pigmy hippos...then came man. It is no accident that the lemurs that survived on Madagascar are nocturnal, the ones that went extinct had smaller eye sockets and were probably diurnal.
@r2d2rx The length of time is irrelevant. "we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we're a threat?". We have the technological capacity to destroy the entire planet. We hoover fish from the sea (h__p: //bbc.in /xQHgMM), we introduce alien species, we are producing massive pollution and take out keystone species. We are the single massive threat to the biosphere and to ourselves and we are jeopardising the blue-green ball.
@r2d2rx One in four mammal species and one in eight bird species are under threat. Many of the 2000 species on the World Conservation Union red list are already fatally damaged. And the extinction rate is accellerating. The future of the Biodiversity on this planet is in our hands, any your complacency perhaps best sums up that future.
@vincewilkinson I bet they can't tickle each other in the wild so we must remove em from there and put em here. Anyway, way much more peeps can see em here than there :P
@Zonde32 When one species is made extinct, there tends to be other extinctions that are caused by the removal of the first species. On the Barro Colorado Island no one expected the extinction of the large predators on the island, Jaguars, Pumas and Harpy Eagles, to cause the extinction of the little antbird. Small predators and seed eaters exploded, vegetation changes and the antbird and other species subsequently went extinct. It is the ecosystem you are protecting. Not just one species.
I, like others, have just watched the BBC programme, which thankfully has brought the loris's plight to our attention. I expect many people who have these poor creatures are ignorant of how they may have arrived in their hands, through those very cruel poachers and traders. I'm not making excuses for them but hopefully they will now have their eyes opened. I watch many nature programmes and this is the first for a long time to make me cry.
flagging this and all others, I know the pet trade affects many more species and a comment on a youtube video isn't going to stop it right away but just want to do all I can to get someones attention.
Watch the bbc natural world programme called Jungle Gremlins of Java to see how amazing this ENDANGERED animal is. Its survival is threatened by the pet trade that brought you this video!
@michellenesbitt1 How do you know it isn't a rescued Loris? Most of the strange animals I've seen on YouTube are rescued, or have never live in the wild.
@pongraczvideo No. An even better idea is for zoos and wildlife parks to breed them. NOT regular people in houses. They do not belong in normal households.
I'm not here to watch how 'cute' this animal, I'm here to make sure everyone watches the real story of this amazing animal.
I just watched the amazing Natural World programme about the slow loris and the footage of the indonesian pet trade had me in tears. If you want one of these as a pet you will be contributing to them becoming extinct in the wild, so don't do it!
These animals are endangered therefore it is highly unlikely that these animals were happened upon. They would have had to have lived through illegal traders treatment in order to come to this persons home. It is so so cruel.
Why would anyone keep one as a pet, they should be in the wild where tey belong, and anyone who want one as a pet should use their concience. These animals are dying out in the wild, they need to be saved and people wante them as pets is wrong and cruel, they should be kept in their natural habitat!
Slow lorises have their front teeth cut or pulled before being sold as pets, a practice that often results in infection and death. As part of the trade, infants are pulled prematurely from their parents.
Pet owners also fail to provide proper care because they are usually asleep when the nocturnal pet is awake.
Please don't encourage people to put in danger exotic wild animals!!!
Don't buy as pets!!!! They may look cute but they smell like rotten eggs and if one bit you, you could die as their bite is venemous. Leave them where they belong, in their natural habitat.
Slow lorises do not breed well in captivity, and most that end up as pets will have been smuggled through the black market from the wild. More often than not, lorises in the trade die due to starvation, dehydration or infection caused through the common practice of removing their teeth with pliers or toe nail clippers. Listed on Appendix 1 of CITES, international trade in slow lorises is prohibited. It is also illegal to buy the offspring of illegally imported parents!
This amazing, endangered animal has been poached from the wild to be a pet! He is nocturnal and is in stress, from being tickeled. They are slow moving and this is a stress reaction. Look them up. His teeth have been pulled out also. It appears cute, but sadly it is only adorable for us, not him.
how cute! My dog lays on her back and stretches her front legs up to be scratched just like that. Dogs can't reach under their legs...she especially loves the back scratcher I bought for her...so sweet!
@Drowzor This is their defense mechanism. Slow lorises are wild and poisonous animals. They pull their teeth with pliers before they sell it on the black market. Many animals die shortly after because of the bleeding, those who live become traumatised for life...They are lifting arms because they have poisonous glands in their armpits, which they use for their defense...Sorry for my bad english...
@matijafolks Thank you for your comment. I too thought this was so adorable, until I read your informative comments. I than did some research and you are exactly right!
These are the only poisionous mammals. They have venom sacks in patches on their elbows. Whae threatened they raise their arms in a diamond shape. To attack they put some of the venom in their mouth and try to bite their victim. Not sure if this one was tickled or pissed. (I know..I'm no fun.)
@kerryndenise Not the only poisonous mammals. The Platypus, Cuban Solenodon, Eurasian Water Shrew, Southern Short-tailed Shrew and European Mole are all poisonous mammals...

@PartFeminist18 It's not an issue of taking good care of it. Taking it out of the wild to be sold ILLEGALLY as a pet and pulling its teeth out so it can never be re-released means the natural population suffers and it will become extinct in the wild.

Thanks for all the concerned comments. I totally agree. Although I do not agree with censorship, Mass disgust with the content must surely say something to the channel owner. It would seem a cruel expense to the Loris to host such a popular video.

The problem with videos of 'cute' animals is that it fuels demand for the loris as pets. That demand is partially satisfied by animals taken from the wild. This video could be instrumental in causing the extinction of a threatened species. Would you please consider making the positive step of removing the Loris video from Youtube to help the cause of this species.

@r2d2rx I find it interesting you ask this question at all. Why do you (with the emphasis on your understanding of nature of our planet) think species are going extinct, and what impact do you think extinctions have? Do you think we should actively seek to destroy species such as the slow loris either by exploiting them for short term commercial reasons or hunting them to extinction for our own needs. Do you think conservation of species has no value for humanity.
neobiognosis 4 days ago
@neobiognosis Species are going extinct because of different reasons, not all of them are man-made. You use the word "or" between "commercial reasons" and "hunting for our needs". Thats wrong. "commercial reasons" have the same justification: We need it and want it. I dont think conservation of all species (which is impossible, because some species are -naturally - by themselves - going extinct) has value for humanity.
r2d2rx 4 days ago
@r2d2rx Estimating extinction rates is difficult to do accurately, but researchers have fixed the ambient rate prior to the neolithic at one species per million per year, that is the natural level. The explosion of weaponry during and after the neolithic saw a huge increase of the extinction rate. During the 20th century the causes of extinction intensified. The best estimates for current extinction rates are between 1000 to 10000 species per million per year.

@neobiognosis In some cases humans and animals are interdependent, e.g. we need the bees for many different plants and the cows if we like milk. But sorry why does it make me complacent if i dont care about arabic waterbirds or some fishes in the atlantic.
There are about 1 million insect species. Do you think the reduction of this number to 100000 would decrease the well-being of humans? (beetle collectors excluded).

@r2d2rx "In some cases humans and animals are interdependent" - And we understand those interdependencies?

@neobiognosis What is the extinction of 3 ugly birds compared to our direct influence on the whole planet with nuclear plants/weapons, overexploitation of natural ressources (coal, oil, rainforest), chemical waste. Biodiversity does play a role in the whole biosphere we live in, but it isnt a big role. As i said, just a few of all those different species are absolutely necessary for humanity to live in a "friendly" environment.

@r2d2rx "but it isnt a big role" - You obviously have not read widely about this subject. I would recommend E.O.Wilson or Jared Diamond rather than comedians. They tend not to have the depth of understanding of scientists. We cannot judge the significance of any species as we do not understand the complexity of relationships that exist between species. The effect of taking out small species can have big effects.

@neobiognosis The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We've been here, what? A hundred thousand? Maybe two hundred thousand? And we've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred years versus four and a half billion. And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we're a threat? That somehow we're gonna put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that's just a-floatin' around the sun?

@r2d2rx "And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we're a threat?" - Before Homo Sapiens left Africa, every continent had successful eco-systems with a variety of large animals.

@Zonde32 When one species is made extinct, there tends to be other extinctions that are caused by the removal of the first species. On the Barro Colorado Island no one expected the extinction of the large predators on the island, Jaguars, Pumas and Harpy Eagles, to cause the extinction of the little antbird. Small predators and seed eaters exploded, vegetation changes and the antbird and other species subsequently went extinct. It is the ecosystem you are protecting. Not just one species.

Slow lorises have their front teeth cut or pulled before being sold as pets, a practice that often results in infection and death. As part of the trade, infants are pulled prematurely from their parents.
Pet owners also fail to provide proper care because they are usually asleep when the nocturnal pet is awake.
Please don't encourage people to put in danger exotic wild animals!!!

Slow lorises do not breed well in captivity, and most that end up as pets will have been smuggled through the black market from the wild. More often than not, lorises in the trade die due to starvation, dehydration or infection caused through the common practice of removing their teeth with pliers or toe nail clippers. Listed on Appendix 1 of CITES, international trade in slow lorises is prohibited. It is also illegal to buy the offspring of illegally imported parents!
