How to identify Mohol bushbaby
Mohol bushbabies are immediately recognisable by their huge, round eyes, which are ideal for nocturnal forays. Their fur is soft and grey-brown with a slightly paler belly. Particularly striking are the long hind legs and the bushy tail, which is almost as long as their body.
With a body length of 14 to 17 centimetres and a weight of about 200 grams, Mohol bushbabies are among the smaller primates. Their distinctive rounded ears can move independently of each other and help them locate even quiet insects.
