Description
Calabar Angwantibo (Arctocebus calabarensis) aka Calabar Potto

This is not a very good picture, but it is an Angwantibo (Arctocebus calabarensis).
Taken in the Moonlight World at London Zoo about 25 years ago on Gaf 500
slide film, which was probably the grainiest film ever! For
personal/educational use only.

==========
The Calabar angwantibo or Calabar potto (Arctocebus calabarensis) is a strepsirrhine primate of the family Lorisidae. The Calabar angwantibo lives in the rainforests of west Africa, particularly in tree-fall zones. Its range covers Cameroon, Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea. The species takes its name from the Nigerian city of Calabar. The Calabar angwantibo is nocturnal and arboreal. It stays considerably lower in the trees than the other nocturnal strepsirrhines in its range, and is typically found between 5 and 15 metres above ground. It moves by climbing very slowly through the trees, always grasping branches with at least three of its limbs at a time. During the day the angwantibo sleeps under dense foliage, hanging from a branch.
