These animals are used in behavioral research, and are enjoyed by visitors to zoos.
Positive Impacts: research and education
As predators, they keep the population of their prey in check. They are also eaten by larger creatures, mainly night birds of prey such as owls.
Euoticus elegantulus receives its common name from its distinctive nails. These primates have needle-like nails on all digits except the second toe, which has the usual toilet claw. The nails have a central keel that comes to a point and the tips of the fingers are well padded to help grip barks while these animals forage for gums.
Needle-clawed bush babies are monomorphic, ranging from 495 to 555 mm in length from head to tip of tail. Without the tail, they range from 215 to 235 mm. They weigh between 270 and 360 g.
The fur is very soft, dense, and cinnamon tinted with a darker median dorsal stripe. The tail is long and cylindrical. These animal have short muzzles, huge eyes, and large mobile ears to help keep a lookout for predators. They can also rotate their heads 180 degrees.
Galagos have four incisors and two canines which form a “tooth comb”. This structure helps them to groom their fur. To help clean the tooth comb they have a second, fleshy comb, armed in front with hard pointy horns, and located under the tongue.
No geographic or seasonal variation has been reported. E. elangantulus is distinguished from other bush babies by having a different fur color, different dentition, and a thicker tail.
Range mass: 270 to 360 g.
Range length: 495 to 555 mm.

Needle-clawed bushbabies live in primary and secondary forests. They are completely arboreal and nocturnal, occupying the closed canopy of Africa’s tropical rainforest up to about 50 m in height.
Habitat Regions: tropical
Terrestrial Biomes: rainforest
Eouticus elegantulus occupies the upper levels of the African rainforest canopy throughout the countries of Southern Cameroon, south of the Sanaga River, Rio Muni (Mainland Equatorial Guinea), Gabon, Congo and South Nigeria.
Biogeographic Regions: ethiopian (Native )
Euoticus elegantulus is a nocturnal feeder, and is primarily gummivorous. The needle-clawed nails of this species are specially adapted for this diet. They also feed on insects and fruits. Seventy five percent of the diet of this species consists of gums, 20% insects, and 5% fruits (along with some buds). The types of gums they eat upon are, Entada gigas, Albizia gummifera, and Pentacletra eetveldeana.
When foraging for gums, needle-clawed galagos use a regular pathway of trees, stopping at each one every night. These animals can stop at 500 to 1000 gum feeding locations in a single night.
The type of insects and other invertebrates that bushbabies eat belong to the orders Coleoptera (beetles), Lepidoptera (both caterpillars and moths), Orthoptera (grasshoppers), Hymenpoptera (ants), Isoptera (termites), Myriapoda (centipedes and millipedes), Arachnida (spiders), and Gastropoda (slugs). During the dry season, this species strictly survives off of gums.
Animal Foods: insects; terrestrial non-insect arthropods; mollusks
Plant Foods: fruit; flowers; sap or other plant fluids
Primary Diet: omnivore
As nectar feeders, these tiny creatures pollinate some plants. Galagos may also disperse the seeds of the fruits that they eat. As predators, they keep the population of their prey in check. E. elegantulus shares its habitat with another species of bush baby, Galago demidovii. They both exploit the canopy but there isn’t any real competition because they occupy different levels of the canopy and prey on different sizes of prey.
Ecosystem Impact: disperses seeds; pollinates
In 1940, it was discovered that galagos are a reservoir for the virus which causes yellow fever. Although the galagos don't become ill from this disease, mosquitoes can transmit the disease from the galagos to humans.
Negative Impacts: injures humans (carries human disease)
In captivity individuals can live up to fifteen years.
(Macdonald , 1987)
The biggest threat to the species E. elegantulus is habitat destruction. There is a lot of timbering and clearing of land for plantations and illegal hunting. To prevent forest primates from extinction, proper forest reserves will have to be put up and that demand sufficient funds.
US Migratory Bird Act: no special status
US Federal List: no special status
CITES: appendix ii
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern
Bush babies were named after the cries they emit to identify their territory, which sound like a crying baby. They are constantly prepared for instant flight. They have a series of alarm calls to alert conspecifics to threats of danger. Their series of calls include territorial calls, which sound like a "quee"; alarm calls, which sound like "tee-ya"; infant calls, which sound like "tsic"; maternal calls, which also sound like the infant "tsic" call, but are more powerful; contact-rejection calls, which sound like "ki-ki-ki", and are staccato; aggressive calls, which are described as a "hoarse growl"; and distress calls, which sound like "weet".
Bush babies also have a large glandular area that is used for olfactory communication (scents are secreted from a brachial gland). They will also deposit urine for territorial markings and have social grooming to strengthen the mother/infant bond.
Communication Channels: visual ; tactile ; acoustic ; chemical
Other Communication Modes: scent marks

The mating system of these small, nocturnal primates has not been reported. Male ranges overlap with those of females, suggesting some level of polygyny in the mating system.
Mating System: polygynous
Euoticus elegantulus has no fixed breeding season. Studies have shown that they can have two breeding seasons per year: One in mid-summer and one in mid-winter, depending on food abundance. Females bear a single offspring at a time. Gestation period is about 4 months.
Young of this species can catch insects by 4 to 8 weeks of age. They are weaned by 6 to 11 weeks. By the age of 4 months, a young galago is independent of the mother, but it continues to grow and develop for a year.
When a baby is born, the mother hides out for 3 days away from the male, which might kill the newborn. Infants are born fully furred with their eyes open. Although they have poor coordination, they have the ability to cling to their mother's fur right after birth.
When a mother is foraging she leaves her infant in a nearby hidden nest, or carries the baby with her in her mouth, occasionally leaving it clinging on a nearby branch while she collects food.
Age of sexual maturity is not known for this species.
Breeding interval: A female can breed twice per year, depending on food availability.
Breeding season: There is no fixed breeding season, but peaks may occur in mid-summer and mid-winter.
Average number of offspring: 1.
Average gestation period: 4 months.
Range weaning age: 6 to 11 weeks.
Average time to independence: 4 months.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; year-round breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization ; viviparous
Average gestation period: 122 days.
Average number of offspring: 1.
The mother nurses her young for about 6 to 11 weeks. During that time, she cares for the young by carrying it with her on foraging trips, or keeping it safe in a nest.
No male parental care has been reported.
Parental Investment: precocial ; pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female)
El gàlag elegant meridional (Euoticus elegantulus) és una espècie de primat de la família dels gàlags, que pertany al gènere Euoticus.
Viu al Camerun, a la República Centreafricana, a la República del Congo, a Guinea Equatorial, Gabon, i possiblement a Angola i la República Democràtica del Congo. El seu hàbitat natural són els boscos secs tropicals o subtropicals.
Tot i que no es tracta d'una espècie amenaçada o en perill, algunes poblacions locals poden estar amenaçades per la destrucció de l'hàbitat.[1]

Der Südliche Kielnagelgalago (Euoticus elegantulus) ist eine Primatenart aus der Familie der Galagos (Galagonidae).
Südliche Kielnagelgalagos haben ein dichtes, wolliges Fell, das an der Oberseite graubraun bis rotbraun und an der Unterseite grau gefärbt ist. In ihrem Körperbau zeigen sie Anpassungen an die vorwiegend aus Baumsäften bestehende Nahrung: Die Nägel sind seitlich gedrungenen („kielförmig“) und vorne zugespitzt, die Hände und Füße sind breit. Die oberen Schneidezähne stehen nach vorne, die unteren Schneidezähne sind verlängert und die vorderen Prämolaren sind eckzahnartig vergrößert. Die Augen und Ohren sind wie bei allen Galagos sehr groß. Sie erreichen eine Kopfrumpflänge von 18 bis 21 Zentimetern, eine Schwanzlänge von 28 bis 31 Zentimetern und ein Gewicht von 270 bis 360 Gramm.
Südliche Kielnagelgalagos sind im mittleren Afrika beheimatet. Ihr Verbreitungsgebiet reicht vom südlichen Kamerun über Mbini (dem Festlandteil Äquatorialguineas) bis nach Gabun und in die Republik Kongo. In Kamerun bildet der Fluss Sanaga die Grenze zum Verbreitungsgebiet des Nördlichen Kielnagelgalagos. Ihr Lebensraum sind tropische Regenwälder.
Diese Primaten sind nachtaktive Baumbewohner, die kaum auf den Boden kommen. Tagsüber schlafen sie in selbstgemachten Blätternestern, in der Nacht gehen sie auf Nahrungssuche, wobei sie sich laufend und springend fortbewegen und sich in Höhen von 5 bis 50 Metern aufhalten.
Während oft zwei bis sieben Tiere den Tag gemeinsam schlafend verbringen, gehen sie des Nachts getrennt auf Nahrungssuche. Die Weibchen bilden Gruppen mit einer festgelegten Rangordnung. Es sind territoriale Tiere, die ihr Revier mit Urin markieren, aber ihre Pfoten im Gegensatz zu anderen Galagos nicht mit Urin waschen. Das Revier eines Männchens überlappt das mehrerer Weibchen.
Bevorzugter Geburtstermin ist zwischen Dezember und März, wenn das Nahrungsangebot am reichhaltigsten ist. Das Weibchen bringt meist ein einzelnes Jungtier zur Welt, ansonsten ist über die Fortpflanzung wenig bekannt.
Die Nahrung dieser Primaten besteht vorrangig (rund 75 %) aus Baumsäften. Die breiten Hände und zugespitzten Nägel dienen dem Festhalten auf der senkrechten Baumrinde, die spezialisierten Zähne zum Annagen der Baumrinde. Insekten machen rund 20 % ihrer Nahrung aus, Früchte nehmen sie hingegen kaum zu sich.
Der Südliche Kielnagelgalago ist weit verbreitet und häufig, er wird von der IUCN als „nicht gefährdet“ (least concern) gelistet.
Der Südliche Kielnagelgalago (Euoticus elegantulus) ist eine Primatenart aus der Familie der Galagos (Galagonidae).
The southern needle-clawed bushbaby (Euoticus elegantulus) is a species of strepsirrhine primate in the family Galagidae. Found in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, and possibly Democratic Republic of the Congo, its natural habitat is tropical moist forests. While the species is not threatened or endangered, some local populations may be threatened by habitat destruction.[2]
This species is medium-sized, with a head-and-body length of 200 mm (8 in) and a tail of 290 mm (11.4 in). The sexes are similar in appearance, but there is considerable geographical variation in this species; animals from near the coast are larger and paler than those from inland. The upper parts of the body are bright orange, often darker on the shoulders, contrasting with the silvery-grey of the underparts and inner sides of the limbs. The tip of the tail is whitish in many individuals. In common with the northern needle-clawed bushbaby (Euoticus pallidus), the nails have strong ridges and end in sharp points, an adaptation for climbing about on large tree limbs. The southern species differs from the northern in having a narrow gap between the upper two central incisors, and the nasal bones being wider at the front. Both species differ from other galagos in having a single pair of nipples.[3]
The southern needle-clawed bushbaby is found in western Central Africa where it is present in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Congo and possibly also in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its range extends from the Sanaga River to the Congo River and the Ubangi River. It inhabits both primary and secondary forests, but is more common in secondary growth where there are larger numbers of gum and resin-producing trees.[2]
Bushbabies in this genus are specialist consumers of gum.[3] The distinctive teeth, with fan-like lower incisors with sharp-cutting edges, are probably used to enlarge wounds in tree limbs so that gum is exuded more freely. It is unlikely that these teeth are capable of making gashes in large limbs with thick bark, so the animal is probably reliant on wounds made by anomalures, cicadas and wood-boring beetles. Trees on which this species likes to feed include Albizia, Entada and Newtonia species.[3] Other features which it shares with other specialised gum-eating primates, such as the Masoala fork-marked lemur, include a long, extensible tongue, an enlarged upper first premolar, a large caecum and sharp nails for climbing and gripping.[4]
A solitary, nocturnal animal, the southern needle-clawed bushbaby communicates with other individuals by voice and by urine marking.[4]
E. elegantulus has a wide range and is a common species. No specific threats have been recognised but in places it is locally threatened by deforestation. The population is steady and the range includes a number of protected areas, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".[2]

Il galagone dalle unghie ad ago occidentale (Euoticus elegantulus) è una specie di primate strepsirrino della famiglia dei galagidi.
Questo animale è diffuso nella fascia costiera di Nigeria e Camerun, in Guinea Equatoriale (parte continentale), Gabon e Repubblica del Congo: pare sia stata segnalata la sua presenza anche in Zaire e Angola.
Predilige le aree di foresta pluviale, dove occupa le chiome degli alberi fino a 50 m d'altezza.
Misura circa mezzo metro di lunghezza, di cui più di metà spetta alla coda. Il peso si aggira attorno ai 300g.
Il pelo è folto e morbido, di un caldo color cannella: è spesso presente una banda scura che percorre la spina dorsale.
La testa è grossa e rotonda, con un muso corto e due grandi occhi da animale notturno: le orecchie sono anch'esse di grandi dimensioni. L'animale può ruotare la testa di 180° nelle due direzioni, il che compensa la relativa immobilità degli occhi. Oltre agli incisivi inferiori che formano un pettine, questi animali hanno anche un secondo pettine carnoso sotto la lingua.
Questi animali devono il nome alla particolare conformazione delle unghie, che sono sottili ed allungate, ad eccezione del dito indice delle mani posteriori, che possiede un'unghia speciale per il grooming. Le dita sono lunghe e presentano i polpastrelli rigonfi per una migliore presa sui rami lisci.
Questi animali sono considerati notturni e solitari, anche se non sono né notturni e né solitari nel senso stretto del termine: si nutrono solitamente durante la notte, le femmine in gruppi ed i maschi da soli, mentre al mattino le femmine formano gruppi matriarcali che mantengono i legami tramite il grooming e leccandosi a vicenda. Durante il giorno, i galagoni dormono in gruppi che possono raggiungere i 20 individui.
Si tratta di animali territoriali, che marcano un territorio con urina e secreti ghiandolari ed emettono una gamma di suoni per avvertire eventuali intrusi dello sconfinamento. Solitamente, i territori sono gestiti da un maschio grosso e pesante, il quale tollera tuttavia la presenza di maschi più piccoli nella periferia del territorio, che solitamente è sovrapposto a quello di più femmine.
Possono spiccare balzi di 12 m di lunghezza: durante il salto, estendono al massimo zampe anteriori e posteriori, sì da poter contare su un effetto paracadute.
Da studi fatti negli anni '40 è emerso che questi galagoni sono portatori sani della febbre gialla: vanno perciò tenuti in quarantena per molto tempo per assicurarsi che non contagino delle persone.
Questi animali si nutrono principalmente di gomma, anche se non disdegnano di integrare saltuariamente la dieta con insetti e frutti.
I galagoni dalle unghie ad ago sono soliti compiere percorsi regolari di albero in albero, suggendo la gomma da un ramo diverso ogni notte.
Se la disponibilità di cibo è elevata, la femmina può portare a termine con successo due gravidanze all'anno: picchi delle nascite si hanno in piena estate ed in pieno inverno australi.
La gestazione dura 4 mesi, al termine dei quali viene dato alla luce un unico cucciolo: per evitare fenomeni di infanticidio da parte del maschio, la madre si nasconde per tre giorni dopo il parto. Il piccolo viene svezzato attorno al mese e mezzo d'età, e a 4 mesi si separa dalla madre, anche se dovrà aspettare l'anno prima di essere completamente cresciuto.
La speranza di vita di questi animali è di 10-15 anni in cattività, mentre in natura scende a 3-4 anni.

De zuidelijke kielnagelgalago (Euoticus elegantulus) is een zoogdier uit de familie van de galago's (Galagidae). De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort werd voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd door Le Conte in 1857.
De bovenkant van dit dier is oranje, de onderkant grijs. De handen en voeten hebben een roze kleur en het heeft een lange, witgepunte grijze staart. De ovale ogen zijn omlijst door lichte haren. Met de dunne, scherpe klauwen kunnen ze goed klimmen. De tweede achterteen bevat een opgerichte klauw, die dient om ermee in de vacht te krabben en te kammen. De lichaamslengte bedraagt 10,5 tot 27 cm, de staartlengte 19,5 tot 34 cm en het gewicht 275 tot 350 gram.
Dit dier heeft vergrote voortanden, waarmee hout en bast van de bomen wordt geschrapt (zo’n 1000 maal per nacht) om bij de gom of het sap te komen, dat driekwart van hun dieet uitmaakt. Daarnaast worden ook nog vruchten en insecten gegeten.
Deze solitaire of in paren levende soort komt voor in de tropische bossen van West-Afrika, met name in Gabon, Congo, Rio Muni en Kameroen (zuidelijk van de Sanaga-rivier).

Denne arten likner andre Galagoer i kroppsbygning og har oransje rygg, grå buk, rosa hender og føtter og en lang, grå hale med hvitt haletipp. Øynene er ovale, med en rand av lys pels. Klørne er tynne og skarpe, slik at den får et godt grep når den klatrer. Som hos alle galagoer og lorier har andre tå på bakfoten en «pusseklo» som vender oppover og som kan brukes til å gre og klø pelsen med.
Arten er utbredt i Vest-Afrika.
Den skarper i tre og bark med de store fortennene for å få kvae og sevje, som utgjør tre firedeler av kostholdet, i tillegg til frukt og insekter. Den kan skrape frem kvae 1000 ganger i løpet av én natt.

Västlig klogalago (Euoticus elegantulus[2][3][4]) är en däggdjursart som först beskrevs av John Lawrence Le Conte 1857. Euoticus elegantulus ingår i släktet klogalagoer och familjen galagoer.[5][6] Inga underarter finns listade.[5]
Arten når en kroppslängd (huvud och bål) mellan 22 och 24 cm samt en vikt mellan 270 och 360 gram. Därtill kommer den cirka 30 cm långa svansen.[7] Pälsen har huvudsakligen en kanelbrun till grå färg och på ryggen finns en mörk längsgående strimma. Påfallande är de stora öronen och ögonen. Västlig klogalago har vid de flesta tårna spetsiga naglar som påminner om klor, bara vid andra tån av framtassarna finns en äkta klo. Artens första premolarer liknar hörntänder.[7]
Denna primat förekommer i västcentrala Afrika vid Guineabukten. Utbredningsområdet sträcker sig från centrala Kamerun till västra Kongo-Kinshasa och österut till östra gränsen av Kongo-Brazzaville. Habitatet utgörs av tropiska regnskogar och andra fuktiga skogar i låglandet.[1]
Västlig klogalago är främst aktiv på natten. Den klättrar oftast i trädens högra delar som ligger 5 till 35 meter över marken. Hannar söker vanligen ensam efter föda och honor bildar små flockar. När de vilar bildas blandade grupper med bägge kön. Flocken har vanligen upp till 8 medlemmar och maximalt 20 medlemmar. Vid viloplatsen konstrueras bon av kvistar och löv eller individerna gömmer sig i trädens håligheter. Gruppen har ett revir som markeras med körtelvätska. För kommunikationen har de flera olika läten.[7][8]
Arten klättrar med fyra extremiteter och kan hoppa 12 meter från träd till träd. Den äter huvudsakligen naturgummi och slickar trädets vätskor. Dessutom äts insekter och några få frukter.[7]
Honor kan para sig två gånger per år och föder efter cirka fyra månaders dräktighet ett ungdjur. Ungen börjar efter 4 till 8 veckor med fast föda och 2 till 3 veckor senare slutar modern med digivning. Honor med nyfödda ungdjur vistas sällan nära flockens hannar då hannar ibland dödar sina ungar. Det är inte känt när västlig klogalago blir könsmogen.[7] Hannar letar efter en ny flock innan de parar sig för första gången.[8] Livslängden i naturen går upp till 4 år och några individer i fångenskap blev 15 år gamla.[7]
Västlig klogalago hotas i vissa regioner av skogsavverkningar men allmänt är beståndet inte hotad. IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som livskraftig.[1]
