*To digest food, this animal takes about 50 days. This low metabolic rate makes it less energy to use. As an animal that tries to survive in the wild, the loris has to learn to regulate its energy expenditure so that it can still survive with such a low metabolic rate. Adjustments made by these animals is to move slowly and sleep long to save energy. This animal also regulates its posture to bend so that it does not so provoke the presence of predators of its predators. Kukang spends his entire life on a tree, where he can easily get food and hide from predators without having to spend much energy. This form of loris's adjustment even makes it look like a lazy animal, but is actually very ingenious. In fact, lemurs are listed as animals that have existed on earth for nearly 64 million years. This means that the slack livelihood strategy is quite successful. But now the loris faces a new threat. No longer predators, the latest challenge faced by the lemur is now the man who continues to cut down the forests. Reduced trees where the lemurs can live and hide from predators make the loris species diminish over time. Humans must have started learning to live side by side with nature instead of destroying it. If not, then the lemurs and various other living things will be the victims.*
