The Horton Plains slender loris (Loris tardigradus nycticeboides) is so rare that it was thought extinct for much of the 20th century. This picture marks its on-camera debut. The 20-centimetre-long mammal was photographed for the first time in the mountain forests of central Sri Lanka by researchers from the Zoological Society of London.
It belongs to one of two subspecies of the red slender loris, both of which are endangered by habitat loss.
Its large eyes give it excellent night vision, allowing it to hunt for insects in the dark.
Lorises are primates just like humans and monkeys, but they belong to a more primitive group called the prosimians.
