This is the moment a slow loris got racy – by taking up pole dancing.
Sarah, a three-year-old male slow loris, is shown swinging from a pole and tap at home in Perm, Russia, where he lives with owner Irina.
The primate lives up to its nocturnal nature by performing a dance long associated with the night-time economy while wearing a nappy.
According to Irina, Sarah’s favourite activity is playing on the pole, which the slow loris’s pincer-like hands and feet make it perfectly adapted for.
The video shows him happily spinning on the pole to slow, atmospheric music.

The clip closes with a cuddle in their home, but when in its less domestic habitat in south east Asia the mammal is known for seeing off predators with a toxic bite.
They administer the poison by licking onto the fur of attackers.
