Pottos are small, nocturnal primates found in the tropical forests of Africa. They belong to the family Lorisidae and are closely related to lorises. Pottos have a distinctive appearance, characterized by their large eyes, slow movements, and a thick, woolly coat that helps them blend into their surroundings. These animals are primarily arboreal, meaning they spend most of their time in trees. Pottos are known for their unique method of locomotion, using a slow and deliberate climbing technique. They are also known to have a strong grip, which allows them to hang onto branches securely while foraging for fruits, leaves, and insects.
