This report analyzes the locomotion of a slow loris, Nycticebus coucang , in a designed substrate context composed of dowels varying in: (1) thickness, including diameters of 42mm, 20mm, 10mm, and 7mm; (2) inclination, including horizontal, diagonal, and vertical; (3) density, with one‐half the cage more densely furnished with dowels than the other. Tabulation of frequencies of use of these different classes of substrate revealed preferences for thicker (20mm and 42mm) and more horizontally inclined surfaces, but not for either of the two sections of the cage. The data for the parameters of thickness and inclination agree with those obtained by Charles‐Dominique ('71) for free‐ranging Perodicticus , both sets contrasting with his data on substrate use by the sympatric Arctocebus . Locomotor performance, as judged by gait and segmental kinematic patterns, was, however, markedly different in the two sections, as well as on the wire wall of the cage. Analysis of these quantitative and qualitative data suggests that the interaction between the cheiridea and substrate parameters frequently determines the expression of other features of locomotor performance
