Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following is a skilled hunter, has a specialised toothcomb and is the only venomous primate in the world?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
Option (b) is correct: Found exclusively in South and Southeast Asia, slow lorises are the world’s only venomous primates. They’re arboreal—meaning they live in trees—and can be spotted curling up to sleep in branches or using vines and leaves to get around. They typically only come down to the forest floor when they need to defecate. Slow lorises each have a small bare patch under their arm that secretes oil. When they feel threatened, they lick this oil, which combines with their saliva to create a venom strong enough to kill small arthropods and mammals. Slow lorises are skilled hunters; they use their slow and deliberate movements to catch prey like insects and small vertebrates. They also have a specialised toothcomb—a unique structure created by their bottom front teeth—that they use for grooming and extracting gum from trees. Vulnerable slow loris species include the Philippine slow loris, Kayan slow loris, and Bornean slow loris. Endangered species include the Bengal slow loris, greater slow loris, Sumatran slow loris, and pygmy slow loris.The two species considered critically endangered are the Bangka slow loris and Javan slow loris.
