Bangka slow loris rediscovered after 89 years, confirmed via rescue center records
Researchers working with Indonesia's Alobi Wildlife Rescue Center have confirmed sightings of the Bangka slow loris, a venomous primate species not documented since its original description nearly 89 years ago. The animals had reportedly been found entering homes and gardens on Bangka Island, leading to their rescue and eventual scientific confirmation as a living, critically endangered species.
