Bitter sweet

When we think of a Pygmy Slow Loris, images of super cute little ones comes to our thoughts. Today, I got to full clean out the Slow Loris. I apologize for not having pictures of me cleaning, but here is a cute picture of a loris if you do not know what it looks like off of Google.

They are definitely on my "Top Cute Animals" list. We have two of them in our Jungle. The female is very shy, however, the male is very curious. As I was cleaning their display, he had a urge to keep following me and try to pull off my protective glasses. He even followed me all over the display and made it hard for me to keep doing my job. He was also pretty quick despite his name. This seemed to draw a lot of attention from people on the other side of the display. People were taking pictures of the both of us as I was trying to clean as he kept chasing me around.

 These guys like to have their fruits and veggies in their diets. I make sure they eat their veggies first since they tend to only like the fruits more. Picky eaters they are! These guys can be hard to find though since they do not move around a lot. You can find them clinging onto a branch or to another loris. If you would hand them some food, they will hold onto their branch and try to reach as far as they can to get it and pull it back to themselves in a very shy way. How can anyone not think these guys are cute yet?! However, you would need to be careful when feeding them since sometimes they like to bite you if you give them the chance. In other words, as cute as they are, these guys are bitter sweet since their cuteness is overwhelming, however, they do like to bite. The male tried to bite me as he was trying to climb on my back and steal my protective glasses and almost bit my ear instead. Either way, these guys are easy to love and forgive. I hope I can work with them again!
