摘　　要：Pygmy lorises are arboreal primates primarily found in forest environments across Southeast Asia(Nekaris 2014).Theyhave a diverse diet,including plant secretions,nectar,fruits,invertebrates,tree bark,and bird eggs.All 9 known speciesof pygmy lorises are listed as globally endangered species(Nekaris 2014).Pygmy lorises exhibit a range of unique phenotypic characteristics rarely seen among primates.
