Please help identify this particular species of animal.
This animal

The only thing I know is that it lives in trees and that this particular photo is taken in Laos at a wildlife refuge, although the animal could come from anywhere in the world as it may have been rescued from an illegal zoo or trade. I'd appreciate any help.

 * I though that, but the one pictured by the OP appears to have short-hair, although the picture is less than clear, and all the ones I've looked at online are long-haired except on their faces - it does however look very much like it. Mikenorton (talk) 16:41, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
