Everyone help us welcome Abilene Zoo`s newest member: Warble! Warble is a Pygmy Slow Loris which is the only venomous primate. You read that correctly, a venomous primate! The pygmy slow loris secretes an oil from its elbow area that mixes with its saliva to create a venomous toxin. This species is also nocturnal, which means it will prefer the dark. You can find Warble in the nocturnal area of Abilene Zoo. With Boo At The Zoo and Dia De Los Muertos this weekend, now is the perfect time to come see this new animal!
