@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!
