The Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park authorities in the western province of Prachuap Khiri Khan returned a lost slow loris to the forest after it wandered into a residential area today in search of food.
The resident who discovered the animal, Weera Rairueng, told reporters that he heard an unfamiliar animal sound coming from a banana plantation behind his house and went to check it out. At first, he thought the animal was a squirrel, but upon closer observation, he realized it was a slow loris and promptly reported it to the authorities.
