Pygmy slow lorises don\u2019t reach their full size until they\u2019re about 1\u00bd years old. Even then, they\u2019re surprisingly small, measuring just 6 to 10 inches long and weighing between 350 and 500 grams.<\/p>\n Pygmy Slow Loris Is Endangered<\/p>\n Native to Southeast Asia, pygmy slow lorises are considered endangered, and wild populations are threatened by habitat loss and illegal wildlife trafficking.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why conservation programs at accredited zoos are so important in helping support the future of the species.<\/p>\n Families visiting the Bronx Zoo this summer can try to spot the young slow loris in the World of Darkness exhibit<\/a>, a unique indoor space designed for animals most active at night, included with Bronx Zoo admission.<\/p>\n The exhibit is home to 24 species, and you see creatures you might not normally encounter during a daytime zoo visit.<\/p>\n The baby loris may be tiny, but it\u2019s already doing a big job of reminding people why protecting endangered animals is so important.<\/p>\n Psst\u2026 Check Out Rare Twin Lemurs Born at the Bronx Zoo\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
