The Funny Potto

The potto, one of the least known
animals of the world is from
the jungles OF Uganda, in Africa.
A member of the interesting
lemur family, which is closely re-
lated to, the monkeys, the animal
is about the size of a squirrel and
has,large pop eyes. It's habits re-
semble those of the sloth. 1t lives
i'm trees, sometimes hanging upside
down from the branches for hours.
The potto is little known because
it is one of the many creatures
which appear only at night. This
makes it difficult for scientists to
study it's habits. About all that is
really known about the funny lit
tie creature are the details of its
anatomy. It has hands somewhat
like a monkeys Except for the in.
dex fingers which are missing) and
a very short tail.
