Senegal Bush Baby - Zoo Prague 7

Three Senegal Bush Babies (also known as Galagos) were born at the Prague Zoo in the Czech Republic on October 5th. On wednesday, zoo veterinarians gave the three their first medical check up. The babies are from two different litters, despite having been born all on the same day. This trio of tree dwellers includes two males and a female. Bush Babies use sensitive hearing and ears which can bend one at a time to hear their prey which includes birds and insects. Fruit, seeds, flowers, eggs, nuts, and tree gums make up the rest of their omnivorous diet.

    Omnivorous diet? Is that why the leather gloves?

    Prague is in the Czech Republic.. Czechoslovakia disappeared from the map of Europe nearly twenty years ago! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovakia

    Totally correct. We’re still living in the Cold War! Fixed
