Galago

Galagos are also known as bushbabies, a small primate that has a length between 6-8 inches and weighs up to 10 oz. They are small nocturnal primates native to continental, sub-Sahara Africa, and make up the family Galagidae (also sometimes called Galagonidae). They are considered a sister group of the Lorisidae. The galagos' thick fur is either brown or grey. They have enormous ears that can fold down to give them a superb hearing sense. These nocturnal species have huge eyes and exceptional night vision.

The little galagos have strong hind legs, which makes them exceptional jumpers. Galagos are capable of leaping up to 2.25 meters in height. Galagos, in contrast to other primates, have a second tongue that is tucked beneath the main one. Most of the time, the nocturnal galagos are found in trees. They can readily move between the branches because of the flexible joints in their legs. These animals mostly consume fruits, tree gums, and insects for food.
