Greater Galago – Southeastern Africa

The greater galago, the thick-tailed bushbaby, is a fascinating African primate species. These nocturnal creatures are a sight to behold with their distinctive eyes and impressive jumping abilities. They are social animals and can live in groups of up to ten.

Their omnivorous diet includes insects, small vertebrates, and fruit, and they use a variety of vocalizations to communicate with each other. However, as cute as they are, they can be unsuitable as pets, as they have specific care requirements and are protected under conservation laws in many African countries. So, let’s leave these incredible creatures in their natural habitat where they belong.
