Brown Greater Galago (Otolemur crassicaudatus)

These guys are one of many nocturnal primates in Kruger National Park and is native to the African continent. They are very cute and lovely to have around.

    I'm so jealous! The only galagos I ever saw in the bush were bright, shining eyes in trees (or on the very rare occasion, jumping from tree to tree).

    Hi Nicole, These guys are adorable and they are so relaxed. This specific one hangs around my mentor's house every night and just hangs around when we are sitting outside. He even enjoys a snack now and then straight from the hand.

About This Project

Recently, tuberculosis was discovered in populations of African black and white rhinoceroses in Kruger National Park (KNP), South Africa. In order to prevent the spread of this deadly disease, movement restrictions have been imposed on rhinoceros in KNP. The aim of this project is to develop new diagnostic tests to determine infection and allow uninfected animals to be moved outside of this endemic area.

Blast off!
