Bush Babies

Up a Tree

Known for their plaintive calls that sound like a human infant, bush babies, or lesser galagos as they are sometimes known, make their homes in the trees of Africa. They have large, bat-like ears and huge eyes that are especially suited to hearing and seeing small insects buzzing by in the night. This intriguing volume gives valuable information on the life of this nocturnal tree-dweller with the help of well-rounded text and photographs.
