What is the maximal age a Mohol bushbaby reaches?
An adult Mohol bushbaby (Galago moholi) usually gets as old as 16.5 years.
Mohol bushbabys are around 122 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 11 grams (0.02 lbs) and measure 4.43 meter (14′ 7″). As a member of the Galagonidae family (genus: Galago), their offspring is 1 babies per pregnancy. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 20 cm (0′ 8″).
As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.
The Mohol bushbaby (Galago moholi) is a species of primate in the family Galagidae which is native to mesic woodlands of the southern Afrotropics. It is physically very similar to the Senegal bushbaby, and was formerly considered to be its southern race. The two species differ markedly in their biology however, and no hybrids have been recorded in captivity.
