Lesser bushbabies, or lesser galagos, are strepsirrhine primates of the genus Galago. The Bioko Allen's Bushbaby ( Galago alleni) is a species of Primate in the Galagidae family Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Mammals ( class Mammalia) are a class of Vertebrate Animals characterized by the presence of Sweat glands, including sweat glands A primate is a member of the biological order Primates ( Latin: "prime first rank" the group that contains Lemurs the Aye-aye Galagos, also known as bushbabies, bush babies or nagapies (meaning "little night monkeys" in Afrikaans) are small Nocturnal Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hillaire ( April 15, 1772 - June 19, 1844) was a French naturalist who established the principle In biology a type is that which fixes a name to a Taxon.

Galagos, also known as bushbabies, bush babies or nagapies (meaning "little night monkeys" in Afrikaans) are small Nocturnal Galagos, also known as bushbabies, bush babies or nagapies (meaning "little night monkeys" in Afrikaans) are small Nocturnal [1] They are probably the most numerous primate in Africa, and can be found in every large forest on the continent. [2] They mark their territory by urinating on their hands and leaving traces on the trees they climb across, and they follow these detectable paths through the trees night after night. They are related to Lorises, and have similar behavior and anatomy. Loris is the common name for the Strepsirrhine Primates of the subfamily Lorinae in family Lorisidae. They are much faster, however, and typical hunt by speed rather than by stealth. [2] Primitive bushbabies are thought to have been the ancestors of all lemurs. Lemurs make up the infraorder Lemuriformes and are members of a group of Primates known as Prosimians The term "lemur" is derived from the [2]
