SEASONAL BREEDING OF THE SENEGAL GALAGO (GALAGO SENEGALENSIS SENEGALENSIS) IN THE NUBA MOUNTAINS, REPUBLIC OF THE SUDAN

Abstract

In the Nuba mountains, Republic of the Sudan, and in Northern Uganda, the Senegal galago (Galago senegalensis senegalensis) breeds twice a year and usually has only one young at a time. It is probable that, south of the Equator, the Moholi galago (Galago senegalensis moholi) breeds only once a year but commonly has twins. Both races usually have 3 pairs of nipples, 1 pectoral and 2 abdominal.
