Bush babies show exceptional grip strength from birth

Bush babies—often called galagos—are already incredibly cute as adults, but their babies take the charm to a whole new level. One of the coolest things about these little furballs is how quickly they develop serious grip strength. Almost from day one, they can cling to branches or their mom’s fur, which is super handy when they’re out and about on nighttime foraging trips.

However, the babies don’t always go everywhere with mom. More often than not, she’ll leave them tucked away in a cozy leaf nest or hiding spot while she hunts for food.
