Angwantibo

What is an "angwantibo"?

The angwantibo, also known as the golden potto or arboreal tenrec, is a small primate species found in Africa. They have a distinctive appearance with a round head, large eyes, and soft, dense fur. Angwantibos are primarily arboreal, spending most of their time in trees, and have elongated fingers and toes that are adapted for gripping branches. They are nocturnal and feed on a diet that consists mostly of insects, particularly ants and termites. Angwantibos are known for their slow and deliberate movements, carefully navigating through the forest canopy. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect angwantibos and their habitat from threats such as habitat loss, hunting, and climate change.
