Lonely Loris was found abandoned in Dubai. Courtesy Green Planet

Baby Loris is the first recorded birth of a slow loris in a zoological facility in the UAE. Chris Whiteoak / The Nationa

The gender of the offspring is still unknown, as it spends most of its time sleeping next to its parents. The team will be more hands-on with Baby Loris in the coming weeks. Chris Whiteoak / The National

On average, there are less than 10 slow lorises born at zoological facilities world-wide every year. Chris Whiteoak / The National

Baby Loris' father is named Lonely, who was rescued after being abandoned in a box in Dubai last year. Chris Whiteoak / The National

After Lonely (pictured) was rescued, another slow loris was found in the streets of Dubai. This time, it was a female that was then named Amal by Green Planet. Chris Whiteoak / The National

The slow loris couple are believed to have been brought into the country through illegal wildlife trade. Chris Whiteoak / The National

The slow loris is a nocturnal animal that sleeps for up to 16 or 18 hours a day. It mostly feeds off insects and vegetation. Chris Whiteoak / The National
