Abstract
Chromosome studies were performed on 11 lesser bush babies (Galago senegalensis) which were divided into three subspecies. Among these animals five different karyotypes were identified with the diploid numbers 36, 37 and 38. A fusion type of mechanism might have been involved in the chromosomal evolution of this species.Keywords
