Mohol Bushbaby Galago moholi

The Bushbaby or Galago is several species of small, nocturnal primate from Africa. The Mohol Bushbaby (Mohol Galago) is native to much of the southern half of Africa.

Mohol Bushbabies are arboreal and, although small (some 15cm or 6 inches with a 23cm or 9-inch tail), can jump some 5 metres. They have large eyes and ears to help them locate insect prey and avoid predators in the dark. They have long tails for balance. They also eat tree gum.

Bushbabies are said to share a common ancestor with lemurs.
