Born to mum Ramina and dad Lapek, the species of nocturnal, tree-dwelling mammals, native to Vietnam (east of the Mekong River), eastern Cambodia, Laos and the Yunnan province in South China.
The pygmy slow loris is listed as an endangered species in the wild.
Amazon World have adopted the pygmy slow loris as part of an international breeding programme aimed at trying to prevent extinction of this species.
A spokesman for the attraction said: "I’m sure you’ll agree, they are too cute. We are proud to be part of the breeding programme.
"Come and visit our loris this summer. Find them in our Twilight area."
Amazon World is open 364 days a year, daily from 10am.
