Bosmann's Potto

PottoAn arboreal, nocturnal, African prosimian primate.
Perodicticus potto belonging to the loris family. It has a thick body, strong limbs, and grasping feet and hands, and grows
to 40 cm/16 in long, It has horny spines along its backbone, which it uses for defence. It climbs slowly, and eats
insects, snails, fruit, and leaves.

LWC were able to release the Bosmann's Potto in 2004. For a elease location, We chose a community forest area, which
had a nature trail for tourists and
hunting is not allowed. We know from previous assessments of the area that fruit trees grow there in abundance and that the mammal density is low. The release of the animal was carried out in the early evening hours.
