Bushbaby




With their large saucepan eyes, big ears and bushy tails, galagos, also known as bushbabies, are one of Africa’s most endearing creatures of the night. Often referred to in South Africa as nagapies, meaning “little night monkeys” in Afrikaans, they are regarded as one of the smallest of the prosimian primate species. Although fairly common throughout parts of Africa, they are not easily seen due to their predominately nocturnal movements and shy demeanour.  -- Africa Geographic
