The newly identified Angolan dwarf galago

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

The dwarf galago was found in Kumbira Forest in north-western Angola. The forest is not protected and its habitat is being destroyed due to commercial logging throughout the Angolan Escarpment forests. Magdalena Svensson and Professor Simon Bearder are researchers in the Nocturnal Primate Research Group at Oxford Brookes University and they identified the little creature. The 麻豆社's Andrey Brown asks them how they first came to hear about it. (Photo: An Angolan dwarf galago. Credit: Elena Bersacola.)
