GALAGO is the genus to which belong certain long-tailed lemurs, widely distributed throughout Africa. The galagos have large naked ears, which can be folded so as to lie close to the sides of the head; the foot, too, is remarkably long. One of the largest species is
Galago crassicaudata, the thick-tailed galago of Mozambique and the Lower Zambezi, which is about the size of a cat.
