Lorisinae - Galagos Galagos are found in the tropical rainforests of Africa, from the Guinea Coast to the Congo river and to the edge of the Rift Valley. They tend to live in the low bushes of the forest, not more than 30 feet above the ground. They are nocturnal and are omnivorous, but show a tendency to eat insects and the gum from trees. Galagos use urine marking as a way to establish territory. The maxillary canines are relatively large.
Galagos are verticle clingers and leapers.
Some can actually jump up to 150 feet. On the ground they tend to hop bipedally. The social life of these animals is not well known. They are hard to study because of their size, quietness, and nocturnal behavior. Galago hands are very unique.
