That's a slow loris.... It can be poisonous o... It has poisons that's secreted around its elbow that it picks with its mouth and injects it into your body when it bites. .. be very careful. You can still check it out online shaa.

That's not galago... Galago is much smaller than that.... Almost like a squirrel.

OK. I was thinking perhaps the camera was brought so close, that's why it seemed large.

Good one. Thanks. From Wikipedia, the slow Loris is not supposed to be endemic to West Africa, so this is a rare find!
