Weekly Animal Pic - Bush Baby



The Bush Baby was always my favourite animal when I was a kid (not too long ago!). They live thoughout Africa and make excellent pets (apparently) although have the nasty habit of carrying Yellow Fever... The best thing about these guys is when they jump from tree to tree. The longest jump was recorded at around 6 metres. Not bad for a creature that is only about 15-20 centimetres long...Why are they called Bush Babies, you ask? Well, they were named for the sound of their cry. It sounds like an excited child (or so they say...)

San Nakji for President!
