Asia's slow and slender lorises (Nycticebus and Loris) are among nature's most extreme primates. Until recently, it was not understood why lorises have such huge forward-facing eyes, strange steady climbing locomotion, tiny dependent babies, and a bite that potentially can kill a human! Indeed, early studies described them as slow, solitary, and boring. Twenty years of field research now indicate that lorises are among the most intriguing mammal species.
亚洲的懒猴（蜂猴属和懒猴属）是自然界中最极端的灵长类动物之一。直到最近，人们还不明白为什么懒猴有如此巨大的向前的眼睛、奇特的稳定攀爬移动方式、弱小依赖的幼崽，以及一口咬下去有可能致人死亡的咬合力！事实上，早期研究将它们描述为行动缓慢、独居且无趣。如今二十年的野外研究表明，懒猴是最具吸引力的哺乳动物物种之一。
