Galagos or bush babies are small nocturnal primate’s native to continental, sub-Sahara Africa.
Bush babies are the most successful strepsirrhine primates in Africa. Their success comes from their variety and abundance. They have large eyes that allow them to have excellent vision at night. They have strong hind limbs, acute hearing, and long tails that help them balance. Their ears are bat-like and allow them to track insects in the dark.
These fast, agile creatures catch insects on the ground or snatch them out of the air. As they bound through the thick bushes, they fold their delicate ears back to protect them they also fold them during rest. They have nails on most of their digits, but the second toe of the hind food bears a grooming claw.
Their diet is a mixture of insects and other small animals, fruit, and tree gums. They have comb-like incisors called toothcombs. They communicate by calling to each other and by marking their paths with urine. By following the scent of urine, they can land on the same branch every time.
Each species has a unique set of loud calls that have different functions. One function is to identify individuals as members of a particular species across distances. At the end of the night, group members use a special rallying call. Then they gather to sleep in a nest of leaves, a group of branches, or a hole in a tree.
