galagos of the family Galagidae are a diverse group of small-bodied
primates that can be found throughout eastern and southern Africa. At
least three genera are recognized, including: <em>Otolemur</em>, <em>Galago</em>, and <em>Euoticus</em>.
Galagos all are nocturnal and arboreal. The galagos are one of two
prosimian families that have geographic distributions on mainland
Africa. All galagos have large ears, long hindlimbs, an elongated ankle
region, and a long tail. Galagos are known for being exceptional
leapers.</p>
