The Saddest Thing You Will Read Today: The Loris Loss


Lorisiformes and lemuriformes are two of my favorite infraorder of primates. They're only found on Madagascar. They look and act like nothing else on Earth. They're totes adorbs. Plus, they have one of the wackiest names and one which is the most similar to the Seussian Lorax.

That's why it's so terrible that - in true Lorax form - they're going extinct because of poaching for medicine (they use their tears in love potions! It's terrible!) and habitat destruction. Boo.

PS. Other adorable animal that are in the Lorisisforme infraorder? Galagos.
