Slow lorises have a toxic bite. The toxin is produced by licking a gland on their arm, and the secretion mixes with its saliva to activate it. Their toxic bite is a deterrent to predators, and the toxin is also applied to the fur during grooming as a form of protection for their infants.
They move slowly, making little noise. When threatened, they stop moving and remain immobile.
