Prince Demidoff's bushbaby

Mammals

Prince Demidoff's bushbaby, Galagoides demidovii, also known as Prince Demidoff's galago, is a small primate of the family Galagidae native to parts of tropical West and Central Africa. It grows to a head and body length of 73 to 155 millimetres with a tail of 110 to 215 millimetres that is not bushy, and has a narrow head with a pointed muzzle and reddish-brown upper parts with paler underparts. The species is recorded in about twenty countries, from Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia through Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon to the Congo basin, Uganda and Tanzania, in primary and secondary forest as well as swampy forest, mangrove and gallery forest, and it tolerates some habitat degradation. It is nocturnal and arboreal, sleeping by day in leaf nests and foraging at night for insects, mostly beetles and moths, plus fruit and gum. Females usually give birth once a year after about 112 days, and Jameson's mambas prey on it in Cameroon.
