Comment number:   1
By:   Lisl van Deventer
Comment:   According to Kingdon (2015) Senegal Bushbaby (with long, slender limbs and long ears) does not occur in Malawi. The thick, bushy tail and large buffy-coloured cheeks rule out Southern Galago. I would go for Mozambique Galago -- Galagoides granti.
