This is probably the smallest living galago species with relatively long “bottle-brush” tail and long ears...
The distinctive and tiny Rondo galago was first described in 1996...
Moving up on theEDGElist, today’s mammal is theCritically EndangeredRondo dwarf galago (Galagoides rondoensis), also listed as one of ‘The World’s 25 Most Endangered Primates'.
The Rondo bushbaby is endemic to coastal Tanzania, and is known only from eight small and highly threatened evergreen forest patches.
The Rondo dwarf galago is a small, nocturnal primate, weighing around 60 grams. They have long, bottle-brush tails, large ears and big eyes. They are also known for their distinctive ‘double unit rolling call’.
Dwarf galagos feed mainly on insects, but also like fruit and flowers. During the day they sleep in their daytime sleeping nests, which are often in canopies.
The biggest threat to this species’ existence is habitat degradation caused by charcoal manufacturing, agricultural encroachment and logging of the remaining forest fragments.

Galagoides Rondoensis Conservation in Saadani National Park, Tanzania
Der Rondo-Galago oder Rondo-Zwerggalago (Paragalago rondoensis, Syn.: Galago rondoensis, Galagoides rondoensis) ist eine Primatenart aus der Familie der Galagos (Galagonidae). Er ist der kleinste und seltenste Vertreter dieser Gruppe.
Rondo-Galagos erreichen eine Kopfrumpflänge von 10 bis 12 Zentimetern, der Schwanz ist mit 19 bis 22 Zentimetern deutlich länger als der Rumpf, und das Gewicht beträgt rund 60 Gramm. Ihr Fell ist an der Oberseite graubraun gefärbt, die Unterseite ist heller. Zwischen den großen Augen verläuft ein weißer Streifen, charakteristisch für die Art ist der wie eine Flaschenbürste geformte Schwanz. Wie bei allen Galagos sind die Ohren vergrößert und sehr beweglich.
Rondo-Galagos kommen nur in Tansania vor. Die ersten Exemplare wurden auf dem Rondo-Plateau entdeckt, inzwischen sind sieben Fundorte bekannt. Lebensraum dieser Art sind Küstenwälder und andere tropische Wälder bis in 900 Meter Seehöhe.
Diese Primaten sind wie alle Galagos nachtaktiv. Tagsüber schlafen sie in selbstgemachten Blätternestern, in der Nacht gehen sie auf Nahrungssuche. Dabei bewegen sie sich senkrecht kletternd und springend fort und halten sich meist im Unterholz nahe beim Boden auf. Ihre Nahrung setzt sich aus Insekten und Früchten zusammen.
Das Verbreitungsgebiet dieser Art ist auf sieben kleine Waldstücke aufgesplittert, die quer über die tansanische Küste verbreitet sind und insgesamt nur 92 km² umfassen. Die Rodung der Wälder und damit die Zerstörung ihres Lebensraumes stellen die Hauptbedrohung dar. Die IUCN listet die Art als „vom Aussterben bedroht“ (critically endangered).
In Europa wird die Art nicht mehr gehalten, einziger Halter war in den 1990er Jahren London.[2]

The Rondo dwarf galago (Paragalago rondoensis[3]) or Rondo bushbaby[2] is a species of primate in the family Galagidae. The dwarf galagos are the smallest members of the genus Galagoides.[4] It weighs less than 100 grams, making it the smallest known galago.[5] It is endemic to Tanzania where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It lives in an area reported in 2012 to be less than 100 square kilometers[5] and is threatened by habitat loss due to logging.[2] While it was discovered in the 1950s, the Rondo dwarf galago was deemed data deficient until 1996. In 1996, the Rondo dwarf galago was fully described as a species.[2] It is now listed as one of "The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates."[6]
Galagos are small primates with long tails and large ears and eyes. They all have grooming claws, a tooth comb, and a pseudo-tongue.[4] The Rondo dwarf galago can be distinguished from other dwarf galagos by its bottle brush tail. The tail is red in young Rondo dwarf galagos, and darkens with age.[4] The Rondo dwarf galago usea a variety of vocalizations to communicate with other individuals, including trills, whistles, and screams.[7] It also has a distinctive "double unit rolling call". Two soft units comprise the call. The first is a higher pitch sound that can be repeated up to six times at a constant tempo. This forms a phrase.[4]
The diet of the Rondo dwarf galago consists primarily of insects. The species also feeds on fruits and flowers. By clinging to forest life and leaping, the species can feed in the leaf litter and the understory. As nocturnal animals, they build daytime sleeping nests in the canopy.[4] It is assumed that the Rondo dwarf galago gives birth to one or two young per year.[2]
The Rondo dwarf galago is typically found in coastal dry forest and scrub in forest patches that are on eastern facing slopes and escarpments.[2]
The Rondo dwarf galago is known to live along the coast of Tanzania at elevations between 50 and 900 meters above sea level. It is found specifically in eight isolated and threatened forest patches: Zaraninge Forest within Saadani National Park of Pwani Region, Pande Game Reserve, Pugu/Kazimzumbwe in Kindondoni District of Dar es Salaam Region, Rondo, Litipo, Chitoa, Ruawa and Ziwani Forest Reserves. The total known distribution encompasses an area of 92 km2. The eight subpopulations can be classified into two broad populations, one in southwest Tanzania and the other about 400 km north from there, surrounding Dar es Salaam.[4]

Galago kerdil Rondo (Galagoides rondoensis) atau bayi semak Rondo [2] adalah sebuah spesies primata dalam keluarga Galagidae. Galago kerdil adalah anggota terkecil dari genus Galagoides.[3] Hewan tersebut memiliki berat kurang dari 100 gram, membuatnya menjadi galago terkecil yang diketahui.[4] Hewan tersebut adalah endemik di Tanzania dimana habitat alaminya adalah hutan kering tropis atau subtropis. Hewan tersebut hidup di sebuah kawasan yang dikabarkan pada 2012 kurang dari 100 kilometer persegi[4] dan terancam kehilangan habitat karena penebangan.[2] Saat ditemukan pada 1950an, galago kerdil Rondo memiliki data yang kurang sampai 1996. Pada 1996, bayi semak Rondo secara penuh dideskripsikan sebagai sebuah spesies.[2] Hewan tersebut sekarang menjadi salah satu dari "25 Primata Paling Terancam Punah di Dunia."[5] Pada 2010, hewan tersebut juga ditambahkan pada daftar mamalia terancam pundah dan memiliki genetik yang berbeda oleh Zoological Society of London.[6]

Il galagone di Rondo (Galagoides rondoensis Honess, 1997) è un primate strepsirrino della famiglia dei Galagidi, endemico della Tanzania.[2]
È una specie endemica dell'altopiano di Rondo, nella zona sud-orientale della Tanzania.
È il più piccolo galagone vivente: misura una ventina di cm di lunghezza, per un peso di 60 g.
Il pelo è grigio dorsalmente e biancastro ventralmente: la coda è bruna, mentre sulla fronte è presente una banda bianca che corre fino alla punta del muso.
La testa è di forma triangolare ed inusualmente grande, con grandi orecchie ed occhi a mandorla.
Si tratta di animali arboricoli, notturni ed insettivori, che di giorno dormono in cavità di tronchi d'albero e al calar della sera si destano, spendendo prima un po' di tempo per il grooming e poi avviandosi ognuno per proprio conto in cerca di cibo. Grazie alle lunghe zampe posteriori possono spiccare lunghi salti: in fase d'atterraggio allargano tutte le zampe per avere un effetto paracadute, per poi poggiare prima le zampe anteriori sul luogo d'atterraggio, in modo che siano queste ultime ad assorbira gran parte dell'urto.
