Thomas's bushbaby, Galagoides thomasi, is a species of primate in the family Galagidae, the galagos or bushbabies. It is found in Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, a patchy range across West and Central Africa and the African Great Lakes region whose outer boundary is uncertain. The handbook text carried by GBIF describes it as nocturnal and arboreal, moving very rapidly through the trees and leaping up to eight metres between supports. It lives in lowland and montane forest up to about 2,690 metres above sea level, and also in gallery, riparian and secondary forest, and it feeds on fruit, young leaves, exudates and invertebrates, with invertebrates making up about two thirds of the diet or more. It is widespread and often common, particularly in disturbed habitats, and is rated least concern.
