Tour EPRC at Night
Do you know that we have a special Loris Night Tour? Normally when you join the 15-minute tour by Cuc Phuong guide, you cannot see lorises because they are sleeping obviously in the day. At EPRC Vietnam, we offer a Loris Night Tour at some specific loris cages for educational purposes and for true loris lovers – who don’t buy loris and keep them at home unhealthy.
» At the beginning of the tour, you will have a brief introduction about lorises, how to differentiate Slow and Pygmy Lorises, and their current status in the wild.
» You may stumble upon this super adorable scene: lorises hang themselves upside down from the tree branch or mesh.
» We will prepare stick insects and tree sap so you can feed the lorises over the mesh. In the photo there are 2 pygmy lorises fed with stick insects. Look at those lovely deary eyes!!!
» You can feed lorises directly. We have to use red torchlight so as not to hurt lorises’ vulnerable eyes.
» Therefore taking photos will be some struggle. However, seeing lorises with your own eyes is for sure unforgettable experience which cannot captured by photos.
» A slow loris enjoys his delish treat.
