About the slender loris
The grey slender loris is a small, slow-moving primate with huge eyes, found in Sri Lanka’s dry-zone forests. It is nocturnal and shy, spending the day curled up in dense foliage and coming out after dark to feed on insects.
On the walk
- A local guide leads a slow walk through scrub or forest edge
- Red-filtered torches help spot reflecting eyes without disturbing animals
- Look out too for owls, nightjars, frogs, geckos and fireflies
- Sightings are never guaranteed. This is a wild animal in its own habitat
Tips
- Wear closed shoes and long trousers, and bring insect repellent.
- Don’t use flash photography, and never touch or feed wildlife.
- Keep your voice low and follow your guide’s lead.
