Zanzibar Bushbaby

The Zanzibar bushbaby (Galago zanzibaricus) is a primate of the Galagidae family. An adult typically weighs 100–300 grams and is 34–39.5 centimetres long (3.5–10.5 oz, 13.5–15.5 in). Like other species of galagos, their diet consists mainly of fruit.

For a time, this species and Prince Demidoff's bushbaby were removed from the genus Galago and placed into the new genus Galagoides. Recent work in molecular systemics have shown that this removal was erroneous, the two species have been returned to the Galago genus, and Galagoides made defunct.

There are two subspecies of this bushbaby:

  • Galago zanzibaricus zanzibaricus
  • Galago zanzibaricus udzungwensis
