Perodicticus potto
Coloured pencils on paper
The Potto, which also known as Bosman's Potto or Softly-Softly, is a nocturnal, strepsirrhine primate in the family Lorisidae.
It is found throughout Central Africa and coastal Western Africa.
It's generic name is derived from the Greek words 'Peros' (maimed) and 'Deiktikos' (pointer) because the index finger of each hand is little more than a vestigial stub.
