A homeowner received an unexpected visit from a creature known as a slow loris, which sparked a wave of concern and warnings.
Slow loris found
On a TikTok page, @pethealer1225 uploaded a video of a woman walking into her house to find a slow loris in her home. A slow loris is a nocturnal primate in Southeast Asia, known for its distinctive large eyes and slow, deliberate movements. These small primates have a toxic bite, secreting venom from glands on their elbows, which they can deliver when threatened. However, there is nothing evil linked to them and just superstitions.
The incident unfolded in a TikTok video and quickly gained traction, accumulating an impressive 12 million views. The clip captures the homeowner's surprise and the community's collective response to the unusual discovery. In a cultural context deeply rooted in traditions and superstitions, the presence of the slow loris triggered alarm bells, as some people from Africa interpreted it as a symbol of witchcraft.
