丛猴科Galagidae的分布限于非洲大陆,分布虽然比懒猴科略狭窄,但是适应的栖息环境更加多样化。丛猴又称婴猴,两个名字均来自英文Bushbaby,即丛林婴儿之意,因在夜间发出婴儿啼哭般的叫声而得名,丛猴还有一个另外一个名字,即丛猴均为杂食性,但有些种类以昆虫为主食,而有些则以果实为主食。

这是一支丛猴,不是猫,但是有点像猫,脸的前部长着两只大眼睛,它的双目视觉非常好,所以能很好地判断距离。
This is a bushbaby and not a cat. But it is a bit like a cat, with large eyes at the front of its face. It has good binocular vision, so it can judge distance well.
