cool-critters:Mohol bushbaby (Galago moholi)The mohol bushbaby is a species of primate in the Galagidae family. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. There are two recognised subspecies. Its head-body length is around 8.8 - 20.5 cm. The diet of the Mohol bushbaby consists of insects such as grasshoppers, termites and beetles, as well as gum from inside Acacia stem. It is a social animal and has been known to spend several hours grooming and playing in groups of two or three. It sleeps in a group during the day, but disperses to forage alone at night, moving swiftly through the trees by running, walking or leaping from branch to branch. photo credits: wikia, primates, David Haring -- source link
