Cross River bushbaby

The Cross River bushbaby, also called the Cross River squirrel galago, is a squirrel galago of the family Galagidae that lives only in a restricted part of West Africa, from the Niger River through south-eastern Nigeria to the Sanaga River in central Cameroon. Its Latin name is given as Sciurocheirus cameronensis when it is treated as a species and as Sciurocheirus alleni cameronensis when it is treated as a subspecies of Bioko Allen's bushbaby, which is the rank its encyclopedia article uses. It is a medium-sized, nocturnal and largely tree-living animal weighing 220 to 355 grams, with a long bushy tail, rufous shoulders and flanks, and a dark face mask around chocolate-brown eyes. It lives in high-rainfall primary rainforest, lowland and montane, up to 2000 metres, and takes fallen fruit and invertebrates.
