Bushbabies or galagos are nocturnal animals and forage for food from late evening to early morning. The oversized eyes are used for orientation at night, while the large ears with their fine hearing protect the small animals from predators. The family of galagos comprises 20 different species, which Fritz did not specify further. With the dark blue background, Fritz has captured the nocturnal, shy character of the animal well.
