ABSTRACT
The extant African galagos (or, less appropriately, bushba-bies) are an ecologically, behaviorally, and morphologically diverse group that constitutes the family Galagidae. This is classified, together with the families Lorisidae and Cheiroga-leidae, in the strepsirhine superfamily Lorisoidea. The extant galagos comprise at least 11 species that are restricted to sub-Saharan Africa, where they occupy habitats ranging from dense tropical forest to open-woodland savannah. The extant species are classified in three genera, two of which are, in turn, divided into subgenera. Several extinct strepsirhines are also included in this family.
