亚洲缓慢而纤细的懒猴(夜蛾和懒猴)是自然界最极端的灵长类动物。直到最近，人们还不明白为什么懒猴有如此巨大的向前眼睛，奇怪的稳定的爬升运动，依赖的小宝宝，以及可能会杀死人类的咬伤！事实上，早期的研究描述他们缓慢、孤独和乏味。二十年的实地研究表明，懒猴是最吸引人的哺乳动物物种之一。
Asia's slow and slender lorises (Nycticebus and Loris) are among nature's most extreme primates. Until recently, it was not understood why lorises have such huge forward‐facing eyes, strange steady climbing locomotion, tiny dependent babies, and a bite that potentially can kill a human! Indeed, early studies described them as slow, solitary, and boring. Twenty years of field research now indicate that lorises are among the most intriguing mammal species.
