Thanks for including the why on where it is, before the pitchforks come out about not being a pet

Spencer is an orphaned galago who lives at the Nairobi, Kenya-based Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, among the other orphaned animals they care for.

Very cute. I’m sure it’s largely trying to figure out how to eat it, but the giant eyes make it look curious.

But, it’s going to eat it eventually, right?

Given that bush babies eat… well, pretty much anything they can, certainly including insects, this is very much a “I’m well fed now, but for future reference, can I eat this?” investigation.

It’s definitely exploring the possibility.

Once it discovers how delicious it is there’ll be no stopping the omnivorous bush baby from eating all of them that it can get!
