Necrolemur (SciiFii)

The European galago (Necrolemur europeansis), also known as the European bushbaby, the European tarsier, and the European aye-aye, is a species of omomyid primate, despite its common names, that originally lived from western Europe during the Eocene as an extinct species of Necrolemur and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern forests, swamps, and open woodlands across Europe to help boost biodiversity. The European galago is a very small primate, only growing to be 25 centimetres (9.8 in) long and resembles the bushbabies and tarsiers, hence its name. It is a nocturnal hunter with very large eyes and ears, which it uses to locate its food sources, and it also has sharp teeth to bite through tough insect exoskeletons. Like tarsiers, it also possesses long fingers and toes, and a lengthy, balancing, tail. It is also characterised by a short face, a narrow gap between the eyes, a tubular ectotympanic and a relatively large brain. As the name European aye-aye suggests, it is known to occasionally dig through wood to reach for insects, but unlike aye-ayes, it doesn't use its teeth or fingers to dig through wood, and it instead uses sticks and stones to bore through wood to reach the insects inside, similarly to woodpecker finches of the Galapagos islands (except by using its grasping hands due to lack of strong jaws for using sticks). The European galago is a solitary animal that spends throughout most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the European galago is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the European galago's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
