<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p>The
lorises, of the family Lorisidae, are the most wide-spread prosimian
family with genera in both Asia and Africa. Lorises are most apparently
distinguished from members of Galagidae by their use of slow, deliberate
quadrupedal walking and climbing. Anatomically, they have smaller ears
than galagos. They also lack a long tail and have fore- and hind- limbs
of nearly equal length.</p>
