Not a bad showing for members of the Lorisidae, all things considered :) but I reckon there is still potential for more taxa to be represented in the gallery! Currently we are lacking the following species:

Golden Angwantibo Arctocebus aureus
East African Potto Perodicticus ibeanus
Milne-Edwards' Potto Perodicticus edwardsi
Red Slender Loris Loris tardigradus
Bangka Slow Loris Nycticebus bancanus
Kayan River Slow Loris Nycticebus kayan
