	Calabar Potto (Arctocebus calabarensis)
		The type of quadrupedal locomotion is slow and stealthy in which three limbs are always grasping a support when moving (Walker, 1979).
		The Calabar potto mainly moves on supports of small diameters because of its small size, 40% have a diameter less than 1 centimeter and 52% of supports are between 1 and 10 centimeters (Walker, 1979; Charles-Dominique, 1974).
		The birth season for the Calabar potto is from the middle of the dry season to the beginning of the wet season that corresponds to the months of January to April (Sabater Pi, 1972).

		I've worked with Angel off and on since 1988, and just today learned from her keepers, that she has a special adaptation for grooming called a dental comb.
		It's along her bottom teeth, and she and other prosimians like pottos and lemurs, use it to brush their hair.

		Pottos have big spines sticking out of the neck vertebrae; this thing didn't.
		Also, it was the smallest size of anything that's been called a potto," he points out, "but it was collected in an area that's home to the world's largest pottos." Schwartz has named the new genus Pseudopotto martini after the University of Zurich's Robert D. Martin, a pioneer in the study of primitive primates.
		Schwartz expects this reevaluation to be met with some resistance from colleagues who've invested years in drawing conclusions that depend on the animal's potto-ness.

	False Potto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The False Potto (Pseudopotto martini) is a strepsirrhine primate from the Lorisidae family, very similar in anatomy and appearance to the Potto (Perodicticus potto).
		The classification of the False Potto into its own genus (Pseudopotto) and species was proposed in 1996 by Jeffrey Schwartz of the American Museum of Natural History.
		They lacked the Potto's distinctive spiny vertebrae and had longer premolars, shorter third molars and a slightly longer tail.

	Lorises, Pottos, Galagos (Bush Babies) & Tarsiers
		The lorises, pottos and galagos, like lemurs, can be distinguished from monkeys and apes (and tarsiers) by having a moist snout and having a face covered with hair.
		The potto is found in tropical forests of the west African coast from Guineau to the Congo and from Gabon to western Kenya.
		Alterman exposed an African palm civet, a potto predator, to this secretion and the civet "let out a scream that was audible from several hundred meters." Female pottos use this deterrent by coating their young with it, parking them on a branch overnight, while the females go out foraging.

	Potto
		Description: The potto's color varies depending on the age, sex and type, ranging from reddish brown to fl.
		Behavior: The rarely sighted potto is nocturnal, spending the daylight hours dozing in the branches of trees, curled up with its head between its legs.
		When it moves from one branch to the next, or one tree to the next, it places one foot after the other, alternately, as if on a tightrope, but always with great caution.

		Substituting the length of the four pottos at death m equation (1) provides a mean longevity of 8.9 years with a range of 8.7 to 9.2 years.
		It may be suggested that the lack of conformity between estimated longevity in relation to actual size in the case of bats listed by Hutchinson (1978), is probably due to the fact that they hibernate about half of their lives.
		Hibernation may extend the life of the individual in the sense that this phenomenon results in the avoidance of the hazards of living, and concurrently, preserves the integrity of the individual's physiology.
