Amazing Animals Found Only In Africa

Galago Galagos are also known as bushbabies, a small primate which has a length between 6-8 inches and weighs up to 10 oz. They live in bushlands and woodlands throughout East Africa. The thick fur of galagos comes in brown or grey. They have huge ears which can fold to give them an excellent sense of hearing. This nocturnal creature also has excellent night vision with large eyes. The small galagos are remarkable jumpers as they have powerful hind legs. On a single leap, galagos can reach up to a height of 2.25 meters. Unlike other primates, galagos have an additional tongue that is hidden under the primary tongue. The nocturnal galagos spend most of their time on trees. The flexible joints on their legs let them move between the branches easily. Galagos mainly feed on tree gums, fruits, and insects.
