Wikipedia Abstract

Galagos /ɡəˈleɪɡoʊz/, also known as bushbabies, bush babies, or nagapies (meaning "little night monkeys" in Afrikaans), are small, nocturnal primates native to continental Africa, and make up the family Galagidae (also sometimes called Galagonidae). They are sometimes included as a subfamily within the Lorisidae or Loridae. In both variety and abundance, the bushbabies are the most successful primitive primates in Africa, according to the African Wildlife Foundation.
