Continuing the theme of "Animals That Have Attacked Musicians."
Did you know Lady Gaga was bitten by a slow loris, the only venomous primate in the world?
Lady Gaga was using the animal as a prop in a music video. The loris, often called the "cutest animal on Earth," bit her finger. She was not seriously harmed, and she was reportedly a good sport about the bite.
After the incident, the production crew decided not to use the loris in the video. This is fortunate because slow lorises are endangered, and they are highly sought after as (illegal) pets. Whenever a slow loris video goes viral on social media, this results in a spike in the number of lorises illegally collected from the wild and sold as pets.
