Their next closest relatives are the African lorisids, the pottos, false pottos, and angwantibos. The lorisids are all slim arboreal animals and comprise the lorises, pottos and angwantibos. Sarmiento found this feature in 3 out of 11 pottos examined. In international shipments, pygmy lorises may be even mixed up with pottos or lemurs. They are also known as golden pottos because of their yellow or golden coloration. Pottos living near villages face some predation from [[human]]s, who hunt them as [[bushmeat]]. Pottos mate face-to-face while hanging upside down from a branch. As part of their courting rituals, pottos often meet for bouts of mutual grooming.
