Go Go Southern Lesser Galago!

Also known as the South African galago or the mohol bushbaby, the southern lesser galago (Galago moholi) is a small primate from the Galagidae, or bushbaby family. As the name implies, they are located only in southern Africa, from northern South Africa up to Rwanda. Their preferred habitats are savannahs and semi-arid woodlands, where they can often be found high in the canopy, and they are particularly associated with Acacia trees.

The mohol bushbaby is one of the smaller members of its group; at full height they stand no taller than 15 cm (6 in) and weigh only 225 g (7.9 oz). In fact, their tail is longer than their body, easily reaching 23 cm (9 in) in length. While it isn't prehensile, the tail is still an important tool for climbing as it gives G. moholi an excellent sense of balance. Along with their incredible tails, the South African galago also has one of the largest sets of ears of any primate, proportional to its size; these ears can move independently to help the southen lesser bushbaby avoid predators. G. moholi's final distinguishing feature are their eyes, which are incredibly large and a distinctive orange color. Individuals themselves tend to be gray or light brown, which helps them blend in with their surroundings.

South African galagos are almost strictly nocturnal. At night, they forage through the canopy for moths and beetles. These bits of protein, however, are supplemental; the mohol bushbaby's primary source of food is gum, or hardened sap from the Acacia plant. G. moholi has several adaptations allowing it to specialize in gum extraction, including scraping teeth on the lower mandible; long, rough tongues; and digestive systems that have evolved to break down and ferment the tough substance. Because they have very few defense mechanisms, southern lesser galagos are a common prey for many nocturnal species like eagles, owls, snakes, mongooses, civets, and gennets.

One of the few ways the South African bushbaby avoids predation is through its social units. Groups of 2-7-- typically composed of a female, her young, and a few non-reproductive relatives-- forage together. In these groups, their collective night vision and highly-developed hearing allow them to detect and alert each other to predators long before the threat is immanent. While individuals forage seperately, they keep in contact via loud, high pitched calls that can serve as a warning for predators, a point of contact between mother and offspring, or a territorial warning between males.

Male G. moholi live seperately from social groups, and are highly aggressive against other males invading their territory. This area often overlaps that of several female-led groups, but they only come in contact with each other during the mating season. Unusually, the species has two mating seasons through the year; from January to Februrary (late summer) and from October to November (early spring). Following a gestation period of 120 days, females produce a single set of twins each mating season. Each set is weaned after approximately 3 months, and young become fully mature at 300 days. Female offspring may join the mother's group, while males leave to establish their own territory. In the wild, an individual may live up to 16 years.

Conservation status: The IUCN has classified the South African bushbaby as Least Concern. Studies have indicated that the population is stable and, in some areas, increasing. However, in other areas the species is threatened by habitat loss and possibly capture for the pet and bushmeat trade.

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!

Everybody wants to meet the "Totally Adorable" team at Catilandi. It's Olivia. She's a good dancer who likes to follow her dance steps with the music at this cat-themed city, and she also makes a big team with her friends, Whittany and Lauren.

Olivia is a Geoffroy's cat who is rambunctious and an excellent dancer. She likes to dance to the music, practice her dance moves, saying her own catchphrase "You Be You" and being besties with Whittany. She is voiced by KT Tunstall.

Lauren is a bushbaby who is hyperactive and funny at all times. She likes to hang around in her mini playhouse, being silly to Olivia and Whittany, making funny faces and playing some fun games. She is voiced by Alexa Torrington.

Whittany is a weasel who is witty but extremely happy. She likes to pop up from the burrows in the yard, making her upbeat emotions, doing her disappearing "weasel" trick and making her quick ability to run around Catilandi. She is voiced by Ariana Greenblatt.

Do y'all know where to track down any certified cute galago content? They are probably my favorite primates but all the content I see of them looks to be in a house in broad daylight and it makes me sad. I want to see some actually cute bushbaby behavior

My biggest recommendation is the duke lemur center! They have an instagram where they post all of their critters, galagos included.

Here's a pic they posted of bush baby Baobab enjoying a bug snack!
