	ASP - Student Prize Award Abstract
		Slender loris, Loris tardigradus, is a nocturnal prosimian endemic to the tropical deciduous forests of south India and Sri Lanka.
		The first long-term study of the slender loris was therefore initiated in the 817 sq.
		One of the main objectives of this study was to estimate the distribution and abundance of the loris in relation to habitat types and human disturbances.

		The Slow Loris name might come from the Dutch word "lores' which means 'sluggish', which quite amply reflects Elvie as she moves slowly up your arm towards the golden chalis of a honey dipped banana.
		The Loris' eyes are fixed and cannot move, and like an owl they must swivel their heads around to change their point of view (ie to look left, right, up, down or behind).
		The related slender loris (Loris tardigradus) is, as the name implies, a stretched out version that looks a bit like a long armed anorexic bat or perhaps was the source of inspiration of the swizzle stick look so popular among Hollywood starlets.

	Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Slender Loris prefers to be in thick thorny vegetation where it can easily escape its large predators and find plenty of insects to eat.
		Since the Slender Loris eats many various insects, there would be too many insects in the forests if it were to die.
		Other animals which eat the Slender Loris could die too because the Slender Loris could be their main source of food.

		It is a primate, close kin to the bushbabies of sub-Saharan Africa and the lemurs of Madagascar.
		This study site became the crucial factor in freeing the loris from being thought of as a "living fossil." Not just a creature that shed light on the earliest primates, it was a real animal roaming the forests of South Asia.
		Reproduction is one of the few areas of loris behavior that has been well studied, albeit in captivity, but it turns out that behavior in the wild holds few surprises.

		Slender lorises have large eyes, and binocular vision.
		They locate their slow-moving prey mainly by smell.In contrast to the Slow and Lesser Slow Loris, Slender Loris infants are born in a much less developed state: they have only a thin layer of fuzzy fur, and their eyes do not open for several weeks.
		The shorter gestation is probably because of the mother’s narrower body frame, which may not be capable of maintaining a pregnancy for as long as the more robust species.

		This research has shown not only that at least two distinct species of slender loris inhabit the island of Sri Lanka (one larger grey one living in the dry zone, and one tiny red one endemic to the wet zone), but that these animals, particularly the latter, are highly endangered.
		Threats to slender lorises include severe habitat loss and habitat encroachment, electrocution on uninsulated power lines, death by vehicles whilst crossing the road, and collection for the pet trade and use in ayurvedic medicine.
		Though surveys are still underway, particularly of slender lorises inhabiting the difficult terrain of the highlands of Sri Lanka, I am now implementing a long-term study of red lorises in the island’s Southern Province.
