The Gabon bushbaby (Sciurocheirus gabonensis) is a species of primate in the Galagidae family found in Cameroon, Gabon, and the Congo Republic.[1] Its head and body length is 8.5 in with a 10-in tail, and it weighs about 10 oz. It lives in evergreen tropical rainforests and eats primarily fallen fruit, but also some arthropods. It was originally included within the species Sciurocheirus alleni, but that species is now restricted to the population on Bioko Island.[3]
