galago

galago - n., bush baby.


That is, another name for the bush baby, taken as the name of the genus (Galago) and family (Galagidae). Closely related to lemurs. The name is believed to be from some local language within their range, but no one seems to know which language, a situation I cannot condone. Maybe we should sic the researchers at Cute Overload on the issue.
