Lorises are nocturnal and elusive creatures, making them challenging to spot. To increase your chances, visit known habitats like tropical forests in Southeast Asia during nighttime. Hiring a local guide familiar with their behavior and using red-light torches (to avoid startling them) can significantly improve your odds. Patience, quiet movement, and knowledge of their feeding areas (such as fruit trees or gum-producing plants) are key. Some wildlife reserves offer guided tours, which may shorten the time needed. Conservation status and local regulations should also be considered before planning your search.
