Scientists: Newly DIscovered Species of Monkey Already Endangered

Popularity as a pet leading to poaching of the slow loris

But the new loris is already under threat from the Asian pet trade in part because its "teddy-bear face" make it attractive for illegal poaching, the team of UK and US scientists said.
