The bush baby is a small nocturnal primate native to East Africa. It has adaptations for living in trees, such as longer hind legs, flattened fingers and toes, and a bushy tail. Bush babies eat insects, fruit, flowers, and tree gum. They live in family groups and are preyed on by larger primates, snakes, and birds of prey. While bush babies help pollinate flowers, their habitat and food sources are threatened by human activities like deforestation. Conservation efforts include protecting trees and planting more of the species they rely on for food.
