GALAGO 65 



brought to me alive showed great powers of jumping. A monkey can 

 jump outwards and downwards and catch a branch, but this Galago 

 could jump out and up and catch hold of a branch. It died in the 

 hot sunshine when I was away from camp ; it had probably never felt 

 sunshine before."
