Sciurocheirus
The squirrel galagos are a group of four species of strepsirrhine primates. They are classified in the genus ''Sciurocheirus'' of the family Galagidae. Originally a single species was described, ''Galago alleni'', by Waterhouse (1838), and the species was placed in a separate genus, '' Sciurocheirus'' by Gray in 1863. While some listings still included them in ''Galago'', the species was split into three taxa, ''alleni'', ''cameronensis'', and ''gabonensis'' by Eisentraut (1973) and Groves (1989) which were then later elevated to species status by Groves (2001) as ''S. alleni'', '' S. cameronensis'', and '' S. gabonensis'' and followed by Groves (2005) and Nekaris (2013). In 2017, a fourth species, ''S. makandensis'' was described. * Genus ''Sciurocheirus'' ** Bioko Allen's bushbaby, ''S. alleni'' ** Cross River bushbaby, ''S. cameronensis'' ** Gabon bushbaby, ''S. gabonensis'' ** Makandé squirrel galago ''Sciurocheirus makandensis'' (Makandé squirrel galago) is a species ...

Sciurocheirus Cameronensis
The Cross River bushbaby, also known as the Cross River squirrel galago, (''Sciurocheirus cameronensis'') is a species of prosimian primate in the family Galagidae which is endemic to a restricted area of West Africa. It is one of four species of squirrel galago in the genus ''Sciurocheirus''. Description The Cross River bushbaby is a medium-sized bushbaby with little noticeable sexual dimorphism, except that the males may be slightly larger than the females. They have a prominent snout with a pale grey stripe on the nose which broadens out on to the forehead. The fur on the animal's underparts is whitish or grey and this extends onto the inside of the legs and the cheeks. It has black rings surrounding the large, round, chocolate brown eyes which meet between the eyes to form a face mask. It has naked ears, which are black in colour with some times have a pale grey ring at their base. The dorsal fur is generally brown grizzled with grey except that the shoulders, flanks and oute ...
