According to this source
the weight of this species ranges from 565–687 grams. The source currently used is by the same main author, and one year more recent in appearance—but actually not in reality because it's a book chapter ... Sasata ( talk) 15:32, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Check out this article by William Henry Flower in 1862 where he discusses in detail the brain of this species (apparently Flower was a primate brain expert). I'm not sure whether it merits more than a brief mention here, but thought I'd bring it up. I guess there's a full length followup article in the Transactions but I wasn't able to find it.

I have a comment about this sentence in the second paragraph of the lede:
For those readers used to ounces and pounds, "between 1.246 and 1.515 lb" does not make much sense. It would be more helpful to express the figures with fractions, even if rounded off, something like "between 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 lb". (By the way, is it MoS policy to use the singular lb even if it is over a pound? We would normally say, "one-and-a-half pounds", not "one-and-a-half pound", so I would use lbs rather than lb.)
Similarly, for those readers used to inches and feet, "11.5 in" is odd. Couldn't this be expressed as "11-1/2 in"? CorinneSD ( talk) 16:32, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations to all the contributors to this featured article. You deserve a lot of applause, recognition and appreciation. What a wonderful article.

The Javan slow loris (Nycticebus javanicus) is a species of primate native to western and central portions of the Indonesian island of Java. It is arboreal, feeding on fruit, gum, eggs, lizards, and the seeds of the cocoa tree. Weighing up to 680 g (24 oz), this small nocturnal mammal sleeps in the open on branches during the day and is easily poached for the exotic-pet trade. Populations are declining, and the animal is listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as a critically endangered species and included in a list of the world's 25 most endangered primates.
