@jackedzoologist: Meet the Slow Loris (the only venomous primate)! Don't let those giant, cute eyes fool you—this is the only known venomous primate in the world. ​Instead of producing venom in venom sacs like a snake, the slow loris secretes a brachial gland oil on the inside of its elbow. When threatened, it licks its arm to mix the secretion with saliva, creating a potent toxin. It then loads this fluid into its specialized lower "toothcomb" to deliver excruciating, necrotizing bites against rivals and predators! ​Drop a comment on what animal we should break down next 👇 Image Credits (via iNaturalist): ​📸 Bengal Slow Loris on Branch: © timmy612 📸 Javan Slow Loris Clinging to Tree: © zahra_afriani29 📸 Bengal Slow Loris in Leaves: © sajidalrafi 📸 Sunda Slow Loris Close-up: © faizolhakimi #slowloris #zoology #mammals #sciencefacts #primate
