Northern greater galago

The northern greater galago, Otolemur garnettii, also known as Garnett's greater galago, Garnett's galago or the small-eared greater galago, is a nocturnal, arboreal primate endemic to Africa. It is a large galago with small ears relative to its round head and short, wide snout, a head and body length of 23 to 34 centimetres, a tail of 31 to 44 centimetres and a weight of 0.5 to 1 kilogram, males being larger than females. Four subspecies are recognised, differing in coat colour and range. It lives in the coastal regions of East Africa from the Juba River in Somalia to the Ruvuma River in Tanzania and inland in the Kenyan highlands, including the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, but only in coastal and riverine forest or highland forest, never in woodland savannah. It sleeps alone in trees by day and eats a roughly even mix of fruit and insects, and it can learn to fish and eat molluscs. Its genome was sequenced at low coverage in 2006.
