To access its poison, a slow loris rubs its hands under glands near its armpits—"kind of like Molly [shannon] from Saturday Night Live," Munds quipped. Then the animal applies the poison to its teeth, and the resulting bite can put a person or predator into potentially fatal anaphylactic shock.

 

Slow lorises might also use their poison to catch prey or even protect their babies, Munds said. For instance, there's evidence that mothers spread the poison on their babies when they leave them to go foraging—deterring potential predators.
