The koala monkey, also known as the porter loris, is mainly found in Benin, C?te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo. Because it is active at night for food, it has a pair of extremely large eyes, and the biggest feature is that it will raise its shoulder blades as a shield when it encounters danger.

3. Activity: Koala monkeys are nocturnal animals, arboreal, slow-moving, sleeping in the leaves during the day, and hardly moving on the ground. There is a protrusion on its shoulder blade. When it encounters an attack, it will arch its body so that the enemy can only bite its shoulder, and its long and sharp bones will protrude at this time to protect itself from harm.
