Editing Loris (section)

==Description==
Lorises are [[nocturnal]] and [[arboreal]].<ref name="NowakWalker1999">{{cite book |author1=Ronald M.

Their locomotion is a slow and cautious climbing form of [[quadrupedalism]]. Some lorises are almost entirely [[insectivorous]], while others also include [[fruit]]s, [[natural gum|gum]]s, [[leaves]], and [[slug]]s in their diet.<ref name=Jurmain>{{cite book |title = Introduction to Physical Anthropology |first1=Robert |last1=Jurmain |first2=Lynn |last2=Kilgore |first3=Wenda |last3=Trevathan |first4=Russell L. |last4=Ciochon |first5=Eric |last5=Bartelink |year = 2008 |display-authors=2 |isbn=978-1337099820}}</ref>{{Page needed|date=February 2020}}

Lorises, like most strepsirrhines, have a special adaptation called a "[[toothcomb]]" in their lower front teeth, which they use for grooming their fur and even injecting their venom.<ref name=Nekaris>{{cite journal |title = Extreme primates: Ecology and evolution of Asian lorises |last1 = Nekaris |first1=K A I |journal=Evol Anthropol |year=2014 |volume=23 |issue=5 |pages=177–87 |doi=10.1002/evan.21425 |pmid=25347976 |s2cid = 1948088}}</ref>

Female lorises practice ''infant parking'', leaving their infants behind in trees or bushes. Before they do this, they bathe their young with [[allergen]]ic [[saliva]] that is acquired by licking patches on the insides of their elbows which produce a mild toxin that discourages most [[predator]]s,<ref name=Jurmain/> though [[orangutan]]s occasionally eat lorises.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.orangutan.org/orangutan-facts/orangutan-ecology |title=Orangutan Ecology |publisher= Orangutan Foundation International |access-date=2014-01-14 }}</ref>
