Description
Sunda slow loris male skull replica measures 2.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 inches. The Nycticebus coucang skull is museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The Sunda slow loris comes from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. Its range spans the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and nearby small islands. They are small nocturnal primates with massive, round eyes, short ears, and plush, light-brown fur. Their defensive calls sound like sharp, high-pitched whistles or low, buzzing growls.
Ripe tree gum, nectar, sap, woody bark, plant exudates, and fruits make up most of their diet. Insects like spiders and ants are also eaten.
Adults hunt and eat alone in the dark. One study showed they spend only eight percent of their active time near others.
A monogamous mating system keeps offspring living directly with the parents. Mothers give birth to a single baby, or occasionally twins, after a six-month pregnancy.
Densely evergreen forests and rainforests with continuous canopies make the perfect habitat. A low metabolic rate sets this animal apart from other mammals of similar size.
Daylight hours are for sleeping rolled up in a ball. Hidden spots high in the canopies include branches, twigs, palm fronds, or lianas for their beds.
