Abstract

Surveys of the Kenya lesser galago (or bushbaby) Galago senegalensis braccatus on Mpala Ranch near the Mpala Research Centre, Kenya, were conducted in June and July 1995. Data were collected along two transects. Galago s. braccatus reached its highest density in Fever Tree Acacia xanthophloea riverine woodland and was found primarily at a height of 4–6 m above the ground, followed by 14–16 m. Within A. xanthophloea, G. s. braccatus was closely associated with trees having dense liana tangles. We suggest that lianas provide G. s. braccatus with protection both while sleeping during the day and while foraging at night.
