The Northern Pygmy Slow Loris <i>Xanthonycticebus intermedius</i> Found in Guangxi, China

The northern pygmy slow loris (Xanthonycticebus intermedius) is the highest priority protected wild animal in China and is listed among the world's Top 25 Most Endangered Primates (2023-2025). From June to October 2025, we performed comprehensive nighttime spotlight surveys across southwestern and southern Guangxi, China. For the first time, we confirmed stable populations of X. intermedius in Bobai, Ningming, Longzhou, and Pingxiang counties. A total of 98 individuals were recorded, likely representing the largest known population of this species in China.

Abstract

The northern pygmy slow loris (Xanthonycticebus intermedius) is the highest priority protected wild animal in China and is listed among the world's Top 25 Most Endangered Primates (2023-2025). From June to October 2025, we performed comprehensive nighttime spotlight surveys across southwestern and southern Guangxi, China. For the first time, we confirmed stable populations of X. intermedius in Bobai, Ningming, Longzhou, and Pingxiang counties. A total of 98 individuals were recorded, likely representing the largest known population of this species in China.
