Despite their adorable appearance, slow lorises are actually highly dangerous venomous mammals. They apply venom secreted from their elbows to their mouths and inject it through their bite.

This venom contains components that can trigger allergic reactions, and there have been cases where people bitten have died from anaphylaxis. Contrary to their cute looks, extreme caution is required when keeping them as pets.
