The Rondo dwarf galago is a species of primate native to which part of the world?

The Rondo dwarf galago ('Paragalago rondoensis') is a species of primate in the family 'Galagidae'. The dwarf galagos are the smallest members of the genus 'Galagoides'. It weighs less than 100 grams (3.527 oz), making it the smallest known galago. It is endemic to Tanzania where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.

The diet of the Rondo dwarf galago consists primarily of insects. The species also feeds on fruits and flowers. By clinging to forest life and leaping, the species can feed in the leaf litter and the understory. As nocturnal animals, they build daytime sleeping nests in the canopy. It is assumed that the Rondo dwarf galago gives birth to one or two young per year.

Galagos are small primates with long tails and large ears and eyes. They all have grooming claws, a tooth comb, and a pseudo-tongue. The Rondo dwarf galago can be distinguished from other dwarf galagos by its bottle brush tail. The tail is red in young Rondo dwarf galagos, and darkens with age. The Rondo dwarf galago use a variety of vocalizations to communicate with other individuals, including trills, whistles, and screams.

While it was discovered in the 1950s, the Rondo dwarf galago was deemed data deficient until 1996. In 1996, the Rondo dwarf galago was fully described as a species. It is now listed as one of 'The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates.'
