The people of Malay call him the bashful cat. Long ago, Dutch travelers found him there and watched as he moved from bough to bough among the jungle trees. They had a word of their own that seemed just right for him. They called him the loris, from a Dutch name that means sloth or lazy bones. The loris is at home in a steamy jungle. We can find him in the Philippines or Malaysia, in Southern India or Ceylon or in the tropical forests of Africa. He is a smallish, monkey type fellow and one of the world’s slowest slow pokes. The smallest one is called the slender loris. He lives in India and Ceylon and in some ways he reminds you of a lazy a very lazy kitten who has lost his tail.
