		Like all galagos they have an acute sense of ((law) a proceeding (usually by a court) where evidence is taken for the purpose of determining an issue of fact and reaching a decision based on that evidence) hearing.
		Galagos are agile leapers, and run swiftly along branches.
		Galagos communicate both by calling to each other, and by marking their paths with urine.

	Galago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Galagos, also known as bushbabies, bush babies or nagapies (meaning "night monkeys" in Afrikaans), are small, nocturnal primates native to continental Africa, and make up the family Galagonidae.
		They have large eyes that giving them good night vision, strong hind limbs, acute hearing, and long tails that help them balance.
		Several new species have been discovered, and they are now grouped into three genera, with the two former members of the now defunct genus Galagoides returned to their original genus Galago:

		Greater Galagoes can jump if they have to, but unlike other Galagoes, they do it awkwardly and with little force, but they do climb trees.
		When in the presence of predators or during any threat, Greater Galagoes emit a contact-rejection call in the form of a hack, spit, or scream and is often accompanied by urination or defecation.
		Greater Galagoes are bigger than other Galagoes, males weighing about one and a half kilograms and females weighing about 1.2 kg.

	Bushbaby - Thick-Tailed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		As with most galago species, there are flat disks of thickened skin at the ends of the fingers and toes useful in grasping limbs.
		The average body mass for the greater galago is around 1.2 kilograms for females and 1.4 kilograms for males.
		The thick-tailed galago, or bushbaby, is found in East Africa from southern Sudan to eastern South Africa and through southern Angola.

		The fur is pale gray tinged with buff or brown, generally darker around the eyes and the underparts and bushy tail are lighter.
		As in Galago, the ears are ridged, allowing the animal to furl and unfurl them independently from each other.
		Greater galagos prefer forests, thickets and well-developed woodlands, but may occur in urban areas where there is a sufficient amount of shelter and food.

		The blue visual pigment gene of lesser galago was found to possess the same nonsense mutations as that of greater galago.
		Both greater galago and lesser galago showed double bands in southern hybridization for the rod visual pigment genes, which are responsible for dim-light vision, suggesting the presence of two rod visual pigment genes in the genome.
		The cDNAs of the rod and red-green visual pigments were isolated from the retina of greater galago and functional photopigments were reconstituted in vitro.

		Galagos, also known as bushbabies, are known for their vocalizations which closely resemble a human baby crying.
		Their hindlegs are noticeably longer than their forelimbs which makes them very adept at leaping, up to 12 meters.
		Galagos have slender bodies, bushy tails, and their ears are large and mobile.

		The Zanzibar Galago, or bush-baby, is smaller than many other species; probably because it has adapted to the less nutritious diet available in the island's dry coastal forests.
		Cinnamon-colored with large, wide eyes and an up-turned nose, the Zanzibar Galago is chiefly nocturnal, and lives in the forest's upper canopy.
		The common octopus is found in waters from the eastern Atlantic to the Sea of Japan and just about every where in between.

		Yellow fever seroneutralizing antibodies (titers greater than 10) were found in 2 of 42 Coendou spp.
		That this species does play an active role in the epidemiology of yellow fever was shown by the protection tests of 66 galagos captured in the Gede and Kilifi forests of the Kenya coastal area.

		The frequent soliciting of playful contact by subordinates towards dominants, and their juvenile-like response towards those dominants, suggests that the play fighting is used as a means of maintaining `friendly' relations with the dominant (Pellis et al.
		However, not all subordinates are equally obsequious.\ The greater the dominance asymmetry between pairmates, the more juvenile-like are the playful responses by the subordinate (Pellis and Pellis 1992).
		Whereas both the slow loris (Erhlich and Musicant 1975) and the greater galago (Erhlich 1977) use play fighting within their colonies for social affiliation, only the galago uses play fighting in encounters with unfamiliar animals in a neutral arena (Newell 1971).

		The plaintive cries and "cute" appearance may account for the name "bush baby." It and its larger cousin, the greater galago (Galago crassicaudatus), are both arboreal and nocturnal in their habits.
		Both bush babies and galagos often share habitats with monkeys, but as bush babies are nocturnal they do not compete ecologically with monkeys.
		Bush babies are found throughout East Africa, as well as in woodlands and bushlands in sub-Saharan Africa.

		These are termed Milankovitch cycles, based on the fact that every 95,800 years the earth's orbit changes from being roughly circular to elliptical.
		With increased elliptical orbits, the Northern Hemisphere develops greater seasonality and growth of the ice sheets, while the Southern Hemisphere experiences less seasonality.There are also 41,000 year cycles and 21,000 year cycles that cause short-term fluctuations within the major climatic cycles.
		The 41,000 year cycle is related to the cyclic change in the earth's axis tilt or inclination between 21.39 and 24.36 degrees (Mithen, 2003).
