The Senegal bushbaby is also known as the Senegal galago, or the lesser bush baby. It is a small, nocturnal primate. The word bush baby may come from the animals' cries.
They are small primates (130mm and 95-300 grams) with woolly thick fur that ranges from silvery gray to dark brown. They are agile leapers. They have 1-2 babies per litter, with gestation period being 110—120 days.
