The bush baby — more formally named the southern lesser galago — has fascinating features that are useful for its nocturnal lifestyle. Disc-shaped pads on its feet help to grasp branches as it leaps among the treetops of the woodlands and gallery forests in Africa. The hollows of tree trunks serve as bush baby hubs for group gatherings and family functions.
