Senegal Bushbaby

The Senegal bushbaby (Galago senegalensis) is a small nocturnal prosimian of sub-Saharan Africa and nearby islands such as Zanzibar, preferring dry woodland and savannah. It has thick woolly fur from silvery grey to dark brown, large eyes adapted to night vision, and an elongated tarsus with powerful hind-limb muscles that let it leap 3-5 m and hop like a kangaroo on the ground. Omnivorous, it favours grasshoppers and also eats small birds, eggs, fruit, seeds, flowers and tree gum, surviving on gum alone in drought. By day several sleep together in leaf nests or tree hollows; by night they forage alone. Females share territories with offspring while males hold ranges overlapping several females. They communicate by calls and by wetting hands and feet with urine to scent their routes. As a primate it is listed in CITES Appendix II, and because Japan has prohibited importing pet monkeys since 1 July 2005, only domestically bred animals are available. IUCN Least Concern.
