Description |
English: A watercolour drawing of the Sunda slow loris or greater slow loris (Nycticebus coucang; known in Malay as the kongkang), clinging to a coffee plant (Coffea arabica; Malay buah kopi or kahwa). The animal depicted was originally identified as a red slender loris (Lemur tardigradus, now Loris tardigradus), but this is incorrect as the red slender loris is confined to South Asia. The drawing is one of 477 natural history drawings of plants and animals of Malacca and Singapore commissioned by William Farquhar. |
