  BBC - h2g2 - The Angwantibo [Arctocebus calabarensis]
The angwantibo, or 'golden potto' as it is sometimes referred to as, is an elusive creature native to Ethiopia but is also found in parts of the Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Though the angwantibo tends to be a solitary animal, the territories of males usually overlap those of several females.
Angwantibos are unusually quiet and reclusive creatures, though they have been known to make some vocalisations such as growls and hisses when defending their territory or warding off predators.

The Angwantibo has an unusual and remarkable diet mainly of caterpillars which have irritants in their hairs.
Given a choice, the Angwantibo will select less difficult food, but in the competitive environment of the rain forests the slow-moving caterpillars are avoided by other species and hence, relatively available to the Angwantibos.
