Lesser bushbaby. Distributed widely across Africa, it is nocturnal and lives primarily in trees. Head-body length about 13 cm; the tail is longer than the body, 15–40 cm, and it moves by leaping several meters with powerful hind limbs. It mainly eats tree gum and insects, and dependence on gum increases during the dry season. It is primarily solitary, but may sleep together in tree hollows and similar sites; males form territories and fight intensely during the breeding season. Breeding is concentrated in the rainy season; gestation is about 120 days and 1–2 young are born. Conservation status: Least Concern.
