Species Overview

A large nocturnal strepsirrhine primate (family Galagidae) from the coastal forests of East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar). Adults weigh 0.7โ€“0.9 kg, making them among the biggest galagos. They have dense, woolly, brownish-gray fur, a long bushy tail, prominent rounded ears that can move independently for sound localization, and large forward-facing eyes with a reflective tapetum lucidum. They are arboreal quadrupeds capable of powerful leaps between branches. Their diet includes fruits, gums, insects, and small vertebrates. They communicate with a rich vocal repertoire and use urine-washing (spreading urine on hands and feet) for scent-marking. Primarily solitary foragers, females may nest communally. Gestation is ~130 days, producing 1โ€“2 offspring. Their genome has been sequenced as a representative basal primate (strepsirrhine) for comparative genomics, providing insights into early primate evolution. In captivity they can live 18+ years. They are an important species for understanding primate sensory adaptations and the evolution of nocturnality. IUCN: Least Concern.
