American bushbaby

The American bushbaby (Neotolemur americanum), also known as the American galago, is a species of Adapiforme strepsirrhine primate, despite its name, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, forests, swamps, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The American bushbaby is a medium size species with a head-and-body length of 15 centimeters (6 inches) and a tail of 23 centimeters (9 inches). It has large eyes, giving it a good night vision; strong hind limbs; and a long prehensile tail, which helps it balance when climbing and when keeping in a manner similar to true bushbabies of Africa. Its ears are made up of four segments that can bend back individually, to aid its hearing when hunting insects at night. Its omnivorous diet is a mixture of other small animals, including birds and insects, fruit, seeds, flowers, eggs, nuts, and tree gums. The gum it feeds on usually comes from native trees, although it can come from nonnative plants such as Acacia trees, both of which oozes out of punctures made by insects. The most favoured gum-trees are mulberry, fig, oak, spruce, birch, palm, sweet thorn (Acacia karroo) and umbrella thorn (Vachellia tortilis). In the winter, the American bushbaby moves between trees across the ground, but in the wet summer season, it usually travels arboreally, and consumes a much higher percentage of invertebrates. Feeding takes place soon after sunset, and then again throughout the night spasmodically. American bushbabies reproduce twice a year, at the beginning of Spring (March) and near the end of Summer (August). They are polygynous, and the females raise their young in nests made from leaves. They have 1-2 babies per litter, with gestation period being 110-120 days. American bushbabies are born with half-closed eyes, unable to move about independently. After a few days, the mother carries the infant in her mouth, and leaves it on convenient branches while feeding. Adult females maintain territories, but share them with their offspring. Males leave their mothers' territories after puberty, but females remain, forming social groups consisting of closely related females and their immature young. Adult males maintain separate territories, which overlap with those of the female social groups; generally, one adult male mates with all the females in an area. Males who have not established such territories sometimes form small bachelor groups. American bushbabies communicate both by calling to each other and by marking their paths with their urine. At the end of the night, group members use a special rallying call and gather to sleep in a nest made of leaves, in a group of branches, or in a hole in a tree. The conservation status of the American bushbaby is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American bushbaby's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
