Abstract
Indonesia has three types of slow lorises, namely Nycticebus coucang which is spread in Sumatra and the Riau Islands, Nycticebus crysis which is spread in Kalimantan, Bangka Belitung, and Nycticebus javanicus (Javanese slow loris) which is only spread on the islands of Java and Panaitan. Slow lorises are also known as solitary animals in their natural habitat. Social behavior is very rarely found in slow loris observations in their natural habitat. The status of the existence of the slow loris is now a protected animal due to the large number of poaching. In order to increase the population of slow lorises, many conservation efforts have been made to preserve slow lorises. One of the determining
factors for the success of an ex-situ conservation is the state of the animal enclosures which are artificial habitats that represent their natural habitats in nature. In the management of the cage, it is necessary to enrich the cage as a method that represents its natural habitat in nature. Social behavior observation activities also need to be observed in order to estimate the success of mating activities and increase the population. This study proofs that social behavior in soliter animal such as Nycticebus coucang increased in the Primate research center (PSSP) IPB.
