Angolan dwarf galago

The Angolan dwarf galago, Galagoides kumbirensis, is a species of dwarf galago native to Angola, named after the Kumbira Forest in the west of the country. Thirty-six individuals were identified in September 2013, and the animal was declared a new species in 2017, becoming the nineteenth species of galago to be identified. Its call, a loud chirping crescendo of longer notes followed by a fading twitter, was distinctive enough to separate it from other galagos without any genetic identification. Despite the name dwarf galago, it is described as by far the largest of its family, with a head and body length of 17 to 20 centimetres and a tail length of 17 to 24 centimetres, greyish brown in colour with a darker tail. Its status in the wild has not been formally identified in the article read, but it is thought likely to be endangered because of extensive deforestation around its habitat.
