Hi! This is one of my favorite strange niche animals, the rondo dwarf galago!

They live in only a couple tiny parts of Tanzania, and are unfortunately very endangered

There are multiple Galagos, but this one is the smallest, about as big as a tennis ball!

They mostly eat insects, but they also eat fruit and nectar, and the use rhythmic and musical calls to communicate.

Very cool! I made a post about the Southern Lesser Galago here, but these guys are very cute!

So the Duke Lemur Center recently announced the arrival of twin Mohol Bushbabies. Yes, baby bushbabies.

I just wanted to share this photo of one of them, taken by photogtapher David Haring. This is the most toyetic animal I’ve ever seen.

Brown greater galago (Otolemur crassicaudatus)

This greater galago is a larger, less agile relative of bushbabies. They live in thicker forest than their relatives, and have an omnivorous diet. Galagos and bushbabies actually can’t move their eyes around in their sockets, but they make up for this by having a flexible neck that allows them to turn their head 180 degrees!
