Bush Babies, sometimes also known as Galagos, are small primates of Africa. They belong to a group called Prosimians, that word means “before apes”. Lemurs, Lorises, and Pottos are other species that also belong in this family. They are called Bush Babies because of the call they make, that sounds like a human baby's cry. Bush Babies are nocturnal, active mostly at night, and use their sensitive hearing and large eyes to catch prey in the darkness of night. Each eye is as big as its brain. It has bigger eyes than any other mammal known today. They also move very quickly, leaping from branch to branch, unlike close relatives; the slow to move Lorises and Pottos which slowly creep in search of even slower food. Bush Babies are small, about 1 foot long from head to tail. They have fluffy fur, small pointy faces with the largest mammal eyes in the world, and naked ears; a Teeny Beany designer's dream come true. One species of the Bush Baby, the African Bush Baby, has such big eyes that it cannot move them in their sockets. Like an owl, it must turn its entire head to move its gaze.

Natural History and Physical Description
The Moholi bush baby pet for sale is native to the mesic woodlands of the Southern Afrotropics. They are often associated with the Acacia Trees grown in this region which provide an important dietary staple. In general, bushbabies are small, woolly, long-tailed primates with mobile, oversized naked ears (Kingdon 2004). They are one of the smallest primates and have a soft, yet thick, coat of greyish brown fur. They have large, orange, fixed eyes and posses the largest ears, proportionally to body size, of all primates. They primarily move through their environment by quadrupedal movement (19.8%), leaping (54.1 %), hopping (2.9%) and climbing (16.8%) (Crompton 1983). They are vertical clingers and leapers. Leaps can cover significant distances, up to and sometimes greater than 2.5 m (8.2 ft) (Charles-Dominique 1977a; Butynski & de Jong 2004). Bushbabies are nocturnal and spend their nights resting (4.5%), traveling (25%), foraging (63.9%), engaged in social activities (5.9-18%) and in other activities (0.6%) (G. moholi) (Doyle & Bearder 1977; Nekaris & Bearder 2007). Activity starts right around sunset and ends around dawn with the most active periods are right after dark and directly preceding dawn (Molez 1976; Doyle & Bearder 1977). The Bushbabies can vary in their preferences of sleeping site types. Some prefer to sleep in tree hollows while others may use old bird's nests, unoccupied beehives, and can use more than a dozen different sleeping sites within its home range during a year (Bearder & Doyle 1974a). Conservation Status of Least Concern with stable population size.

Bushbabies have been a great challenge in learning about since there is little known about them, but I always speak the truth, good bad, and ugly.
