所有记录在案的猩猩与洛里斯的互动都来自苏门答腊岛，那里的懒猴被猩猩伺机捕食。在本文中，我们描述了两个帐户的婆罗洲猩猩（Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii）与菲律宾缓慢洛里斯（Nycticebus menagensis）的相互作用。这些互动是由两只青春期的雌性红毛猩猩进行的。在这两次事件中，都没有观察到有人试图捕捉洛里斯。两种互动都不是敌对的。在第二次观察中，这是更详细的，我们认为行为是玩，而不是侵略或企图捕食。基于缺乏兴趣的成年女性在这些罕见的遭遇，我们建议，该行为代表了发挥或非侵略性的探索，而不是捕食。
All documented orang-utan–loris interactions have been from Sumatra, where lorises were opportunistically preyed upon by orang-utans. In this paper, we describe two accounts of the Bornean orang-utan (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) interacting with the Philippine slow loris (Nycticebus menagensis). The interactions were by two adolescent female orang-utans. No attempts to catch the loris were observed on either occasion. Neither interaction was hostile. During the second observation, which was more detailed, we considered the behaviour to be play rather than aggression or attempted predation. Based upon the lack of interest from the adult females during these rare encounters, we propose that the behaviour represents play or non-aggressive exploration rather than predation.
