Habits.—Garnett’s Galago is essentially nocturnal in its habits, 
feeding on fruits. According to Mr. Bartlett, it exhibited in 
confinement no fear of Cats or Dogs, and was very sprightly and 
tricky. It kills all it can pounce upon and overpower. On 
the ground it jumps upright, like a Kangaroo, on its hind-limbs, 
without using its fore feet, covering several feet at a spring.
