About

The Mohol bushbaby is a species of primate in the family Galagidae which is native to mesic woodlands of southern Africa. It is physically very similar to the Senegal bushbaby, and was formerly considered to be its southern variety. The two species differ markedly in their biology however, and no hybrids have been recorded in captivity.

Fun Fact

The Mohol bushbaby gets most of its water hygroscopically from its solid diet, and can live independently from water sources.
