Indonesian police have rescued 34 slow lorises destined to be sold as pets on Facebook.
The officers discovered the critically-endangered species crammed into cages in West Java.
The world's only venomous primate has become popular in recent years thanks to a proliferation of YouTube videos portraying them as cute and cuddly.
But the rising demand for slow lorises as pets is pushing the species to the brink of extinction.
Hunters sell the lorises to dealers for £3 ($3.66), while traffickers can get as much as £31 ($37.90) each, said Diki Budiman, assistant director of the police unit dealing with the case in West Java.
Teeth cutting
Captivity alone is traumatic for each loris - just being in a brightly lit room is painful for the nocturnal creature.
Animal traffickers go further, cutting their teeth with pliers, wire cutters or clippers to make them easier and safer to handle.
The painful procedure can be fatal. If they survive, more than half will die during transport.
