The gray slender loris (Loris lydekkerianus), a small nocturnal animal with large round eyes and long slender limbs, is undoubtedly one of the least studied of all primate species in the country.
Now, the Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR) has dedicated the month of December to primates, including the Gray slender loris, to shed more light on them for the common public.
According to the ATR administration, the ‘Primate Festival’ organised by the Pollachi Division on December 18 and 19 and December 25 and 26 will highlight five of its primates namely Gray slender loris, Bonnet macaque, Lion-tailed macaque, Nilgiri langur and Common langur.
