- In this episode we are on a wildlife rescue operation with Sumatran conservation organisation SUMECO, to save an endangered Slow Loris, one of the cutest animals in the world (according to the internet!) and also one of the world's only venomous mammals. Slow Loris' are often taken from the wild for the illegal pet trade as well as for traditional medicines & rituals. The Slow Loris population is now declining and it is important to protect every individual and return them to the wild if possible.
The Slow Loris is (like us humans) a primate. They are nocturnal and live in the high canopies of secondary and primary forest, where they like to feed on fruit as well as saps. They can eat invertebrates too. The Slow Loris has a unique defence mechanism where they secrete a toxin from a gland on their elbow, they lick that toxin, which gives them a toxic bite. This is fatal to many animals, and dangerous to people - making them not good pets!
ABOUT SUMECO: it is an organisation set up by Bobi Handoko, a conservationist. SUMECO are based on the outskirts of the Gunung Leuser National Park, a sanctuary for wildlife, including the Orangutan, Sumatran Rhino, Elephant, Gibbon, Sun Bear, Pangolin, Slow Loris and other iconic mammal species

What Are Creature Features?
All creatures have evolved different tricks to survive in the wild places they call their homes! Each animal has an awesome story about how they look, what they eat and even how they move! Creature Features spotlight the stories behind these crazy cool adaptations.
The Science:
With over 1 Million species on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species, animal populations are in decline the world over. This is due to many reasons but what we know for sure is to keep the planet's amazing diversity of wildlife we need to learn as much as possible about where and how these creatures live their lives. Collating all the data we are gathering will help build a picture of which habitats are key to sustaining the largest diversity of life on planet earth.

Wow..what an amazing moment to have in one's life ..I wish I do something like you Jack!
Precious creatures.
I always look forward to your videos. The Slow Loris is beyond adorable. Love those eyes. I have learned so much. Awesome video 👏🏽
Thanks Teresa!! Glad you are enjoying the videos!! Isn't the Slow Loris the best! Hope you enjoyed the Orangutans too, they were fab :)
Made in the Wild Yes Jack, loved the Orangutans as well.
Ok now the Slow Loris is one cute animal. I cant believe how many animals are still being poached. And orangutans small or big are so cute. Its something to do with the big dark eyes and crazy hair.
Pleased you like the Slow Loris Lori!! In fact it is close to your name :) yes it is very very sad, animals are poached at alarming rates, throughout the world. I love orangutans too, they are known as "people of the forest"!! All the best! Jack
Slow Loris is the cutest thing iv ever seen!!!😍😍 so precious 💚...thats me when strangers be looking at my 4 yr for too long lol!😂 thank you jack👏
Thanks Maritza! Yes aren't they the best! Hope you are all doing really well :) Jack
All animals are cute Jack, love u so much 💚💚
Thank you Omara!! I hope you are doing well as usual :) All the best, Jack
One of the kids suggested you reminded him of Tom Holland...... Spider Man. Well I just know you have these adventures we all watch, that allow all of us to experience these critters, that we would never see in the fashion you present. Just the "production" we see of these vids, makes me wonder why you are not on Animal Planet...... Excellent vid once again, Sir.
Ha thank you Mickey, I'll take that re. Tom Holland!! Thank you for the kind words, really appreciate the support!! I hope you all are keeping well! All the best, Jack
Nice video mate, it's cool to see you and all these people rescuing these animals. Venomous mammals are really awesome and interesting, I hope you have some more encounters with them.
What an incredible opportunity that must have been to work on the front lines of conservation in Sumatra. That Slow Loris is absolutely adorable, and quite well behaved it seemed all things considered. The highlight for me is probably the orangutans though, getting to see wild Sumatran Orangutans is such an amazing privilege, and I’m really glad you got to experience it! Can’t wait for lots more from you Jack!

Thank you guys! Yes, it's funny the Orangutans I agree, it is something you dream about your whole life, I know I show off a lot of reptiles, but actually I've always LOVED primates, especially Great Apes, they fascinate me so much. Me as an 8 year old in that moment would have been so so excited. Glad you enjoyed it as well, hope you are keeping well. All the best, Jack
I could never imagine such a cute animal can be venomous! Also slow loris reminds me of baby Yoda 😄
I know they truly are! Haha yes really good point the Slow Loris is a baby Yoda!!

Thank you Malek! Glad you enjoyed the Slow Loris!!

Thank you very much Jo!! I love my job more than anything. Thanks for appreciating! All the best, Jack
Love ur videos man
Hugely appreciate this! Thank you very much! Jack
Loris is a very small and cute animal of course . I watched your series OUT THERE where my favourite episode was kangaroo mob . Lemur, Possum and Loris look almost same . Their eyes make them very special . They are venomous but they do not attack mostly on humans.
Thanks.
That is fantastic to hear! I will try and feature more mammals whenever possible, especially mammal rescues such as this or with the kangaroos in Out There. Hope you are keeping well. Jack
So cute animal, Jack! Are they rare? Is their population big in Sumatra
They aren't too rare, but declining in populations, and seeing them in the wild is a real treat. Something that doesn't happen too often. They are cool animals aren't they!
@@MadeintheWild of course😃
Ahh i would love to shadow people who do things like this! So interesting and admirable 💖
There's nothing more fulfilling than releasing animals back into the wild. Just the best Dana! Glad you are finding it interesting. All the best, Jack
