The Senegal bushbaby (Galago senegalensis), also known as the Senegal galago, the lesser galago or the lesser bush baby, is a small, nocturnal primate, a member of the galago family Galagidae. The name "bush baby" may come either from the animals' cries or from their appearance. They are agile leapers, and run swiftly along branches.
The name “bush baby” also refers to a myth that is used to scare children to stay indoors at night.

It is also said that wild bush babies/galagos in Nigeria can never be found dead on plain ground.
Galagos are tree dwelling primates and are capable of leaping significant distances, up to and sometimes greater than 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in), [10] using flattened disks on their feet and hands as a way of grasping branches.
