The needle-clawed bushbabies are the two species in the genus ''Euoticus'', which is in the family Galagidae. Galagidae is sometimes included as a subfamily within the Lorisidae (or Loridae). * Genus ''Euoticus'' * * Southern needle-clawed bushbaby, ''Euoticus elegantulus'' * * Northern needle-clawed bushbaby, ''Euoticus pallidus'' * * * ''Euoticus pallidus pallidus'' * * * ''Euoticus pallidus talboti'' Unique to the needle-clawed bushbaby are the keeled nails, featuring prominent central ridges ending in needle-like points, present on all digits except the thumbs, the big toes, and the second foot phalanges which have claws. The first sample of ''Euoticus elegantulus'' to arrive in Europe from Africa was brought by Gerald Durrell. The uncovering of this bush baby is documented in his 1957 book ''A Zoo in My Luggage''. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Needle-clawed bushbaby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
