They are widely kept as exotic pets. The 20 animals were surrendered by their owners between 2015 and 2018. After passing a series of medical exams and a rehabilitation process, they were then transferred to Masigit-Kareumbi Conservation Forest Area and kept in enclosures to adapt to their natural habitat. The forest is a protected area with an appropriate ecosystem for their recovery. Conservationists will observe the animals for up to four weeks to see if they are ready to be released into the wild.

Javan slow lorises are widely kept as exotic pets even though they are protected primates. What are your thoughts on these lorises being released back into the wild?

[@gioachini]

I think they have to be very carefully with other animals which could damage their integrity...but they could survive. .

[@Amaipuppy]

Did they have their teeth and poison glands? I'm worried... 😟

[@AzlianaLyana]

Really good news on the release. Great job done by the rescuers and providing them rehabilitation to live back in the wild. Hope these cute little guys survive out there. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

moving quickly up that tree! gotta be a slow loris speed record!

[@vilepete]

So shy the little fellas... Really really really heartbreaking!

[@kaungaung955]

I think it took them a long time to get out of their cages.

[@anwitabiswas4675]

Thank you, ...Thank you very much to help them come back...Thanks is not enough...

1:45 Slow Loris becoming a Picking-Up-Speed Loris.

[@kasnitch]

these are not pets to be kept . poachers are scum, and so are the people they deal with all the way down to buyers .

[@artcurious807]

Sovereign Sentience , more pressure needs to be put on China , they illegally trade in everything from bear bile to Pangolins. The problem with having lots of money is that it allows dumb people to be even dumber. The Nouveau Riche don’t care about endangered species.

[@nesseihtgnay9419]

Awesome...they should be free not in cages

[@TNDGambler]

Truly amazing creatures.

I'mm a make a sandwich... brb.

[@NatGeo]

Can't help but love how slow-moving these creatures are. We hope they thrive after being returned to the wild!

[@NewMessage]

I just hope their 'owners' didn't remove their poison glands ... many do. Though I expect without them, they wouldn't have made good candidates for release.
Either way, Go, loris Go!

[@mohamedkhalifa1935]

Never in a rush. Born Taichi masters!

[@yemanehmekonen5463]

Nice move.

[@Khyyam]

So sorry that we must watch rescued animals released back to their natural habitat. WAKE UP humanity!

[@LuckyDMS]

Save slow loris in the world

[@watchensee]

:) This is wonderful! I hope so much that they all were ready to be released into the natural world, and are living the way they were intended. Just a concern of mine; did these lorises still have their teeth? :( In the pet trade their teeth are clipped so they can't bite, because they're venomous.

[@Amitdas-gk2it]

Slow loris vs. Sloth who would win ?

[@victorcarrillo2583]

Precius ")

[@surajsekar]

😊😊😊

[@coffeebudhong5871]

Who is slower? Sloth or Lorises ?

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

Unfortunately, they will immediately be preyed upon by those brutal fast lorises.

[@c0l0jar0]

Please get a narrator for these. Kids like these videos but can't keep up with reading the text.

[@matrixsurvivor3216]

I'm getting 2! I'm not sharing !

[@abbaby555]

They'll be on the menu tomorrow morning in the local village... Unfortunately

[@nicholasdiaz3508]
