South African galago. Also called a bushbaby, this wide-eyed primate lives on the rainforest edge. Gripping pads on its fingers and toes help it land safely after leaping from tree to tree.
Guided by rudderlike tails and 3-D vision, these expert leapers -- also called bushbabies -- can jump between branches nearly 4.6m (15 ft) apart in a single bound. |
