As primates, bush babies are related to monkeys, apes and humans. They have fingers and toes that can grab things, the way you can, and they have flat fingernails similar to yours.Just like people have different hair colors, bush babies can have different colored fur. It may be lighter brown to a grayish brown with yellowish sides, arms and legs. Though most bush babies are very small and weigh less than one pound, the biggest bush babies can weigh as much as 3 pounds, which is still less than a 2-liter bottle of soda!

These environments include brushy thickets, forests, savannahs, valleys, rainforests, semi-dry areas and coastal forests.Bush babies usually live together in family groups with anywhere from two to seven members. They hang out in trees most of the time but will sometimes move along the ground when they need to.

Using its large ears a bush baby can locate prey by sound so precisely that it can catch flying insects from the air.They are fast, agile and very accurate.This allows them to catch insect prey in the dark by snatching them from the air. Bush babies are active at night, so they have sensitive ears and large ears to find their prey in the darkness. They are very small and agile animals, which means they can move quickly from branch to branch. All of these aspects add together to help a bush baby tack and hunt their food quickly, quietly and easily.

In line with their nocturnal habits bush babies make heavy use of scent signals.They have an unusual and elaborate way of scent marking, which is called urine washing.This process involves dribbling urine over their hands and feet and then rubbing them together and thus when they leap from branch to branch their scent is left behind them.

Delicate bat-like ears allow them to track insects in the dark and catch them in flight. When leaping between thorny bushes, bush babies fold back their ears to protect them.
