Pois, the bushbaby that lives in the LEO Garden! How cute is it?!

Saturday curiosity!

Do you know who lives in our garden?! A small group of bushbabies!!! This one in particular has the same routine every single day. At sunset he appears on the fence that surrounds the camp and then he jumps to his favourite tree to eat its gum. One of our long term volunteer named it "Pois". He is so cute!

Bushbabies are nocturnal primates who can perform incredible jumps from one tree to another.

If you had to name a bushbaby, what would you call it?
