lorises) or more closely related to extant Galagidae (galagos) and subject to a surprising convergence with lorises. Galagos are characterized by leaping saltatorial locomotion aided by elongated tarsal bones and insectivory, while lorises and pottos are known for a form of slow arboreal quadrupedalism and secondarily shortened tarsal bones. However, lorises are subject to significant morphological plasticity based on diet; for example, slow lorises and pottos are primarily frugivorous and exudate eaters, requiring less stereoscopic vision,
