Dusky bushbaby
[edit]- ... that female dusky bushbabies carry their infants in their mouths and sometimes "park" them on branches near their nest holes? Source: "Mothers use their mouths to carry their infant. They also "park" their infants, leaving them on branches outside their nestholes while foraging"

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 11:48, 29 December 2016 (UTC).
eligibility for DYK is from this article having been substantially expanded on 24 December and nominated five days later. The prose section was expanded 10-fold and a couple of references introduced. The prose section of this article is now long enough to be organised in sections. The text of the article is neutral and policy-compliant. The four sources are mostly available online, although only the first page of the 2013 reference on Mammals of Africa is accessible without subscription. There are some other common names that are not included in the article but are mentioned in the IUCN reference and the 2013 reference on Mammals of Africa: "Spectacled lesser-spotted galago" and "Eastern needle-clawed galago". Also the 2013 source also mentions a later attempt at classification by Schwartz in 1931 unaware that Lorenz had classified this mammal in 1917. Had these been included they may have also been interesting hooks. Anyway, I did not detect any copyright issues or any close paraphrasing, so have accepted this all in good faith. The hook suggested is short enough, interesting enough, policy-compliant and is sourced. There is no image included in the nomination. QPQ has been declared. Good to Go.
