This cute little primate is settling into her new home in the UK after she was rescued from an illegal pet store.
Nora, the baby Slow Loris, had been snatched from her mother and put up for sale.
Things were looking bad for her until she was discovered by local authorities and then transported to Animals Lebanon.
They then arranged to have him moved to Ape Rescue Centre at Monkey World, which is in Dorset, so he could live with other Bengal Slow Lorises.
Alison Cronin, who is in charge of the centre, said: We needed to get Nora to the UK where she can live with others of her own kind and receive specialist care.

British Airways (BA) and IAG Cargo have worked with us over the last few years to rescue illegally obtained primates from across the world.
We knew when we called them theyd want to help with the conservation of this incredible endangered species.
Moving primates is never an easy job and there were many obstacles to get little Nora from Beirut to Monkey World so we are grateful to have been able to fly her to the UK, and in style!

Its not the first time BA has helped to transport primates to the UK.
In 2014 the airline brought back slow loris Kanbulo who was rescued after authorities found him during a drug raid.
And in 2017 Mimi the Orang-utan flew on the airline after being picked up in Russia.
Mary Barry, British Airways Manager Community Investment, added: Weve supported organisations in the past that have aimed to put an end to wildlife crime and we were delighted to help ensure this special species doesnt remain endangered.
Nora was helped following the introduction of new Lebanese Animal Protection and Welfare Laws.
