Galago

Galagos, also known as bushbabies, bush babies, or nagapies (meaning "little night monkeys" in Afrikaans) are a family of small mostly-nocturnal primates native to continental Africa, and make up the two subfamilies, the Galagidae (also sometimes called Galagonidae) and the Chirosapidae. They are sometimes included as a subfamily within the Lorisidae or Loridae. According to some accounts, the name "bushbaby" comes from either the animal's cries or its appearance. The Afrikaans name nagapie is because they are almost exclusively seen at night, while the Ghanaian name aposor is given to them because of their firm grip on branches. In both variety and abundance, the bushbabies are among the most successful strepsirrhine primates in (mainland) Africa, according to the African Wildlife Foundation. Some species are threatened by habitat loss and, in few species, are on the brink of extinction, but conservationists are trying to protect them. However, not all are threatened by human activities, many are even common and adapted to deal with most human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
