The lorises, in the subfamily Lorinae, are small, nocturnal primates that are unfortunately threatened due to deforestation and the illegal pet trade. Many of them are venomous, being not only the only venomous primates, but one of the very few venomous mammals. I will then dive into the 11 living and 1 extinct species and explain what is currently known about them.
