The Rondo dwarf galago (Paragalago rondoensis[3]) or Rondo bushbaby[2] is a species of primate in the family Galagidae. The dwarf galagos are the smallest members of the genus Galagoides.[4] It weighs less than 100 grams, making it the smallest known galago.[5] It is endemic to Tanzania where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It lives in an area reported in 2012 to be less than 100 square kilometers[5] and is threatened by habitat loss due to logging.[2] While it was discovered in the 1950s, the Rondo dwarf galago was deemed data deficient until 1996. In 1996, the Rondo dwarf galago was fully described as a species.[2] It is now listed as one of "The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates."[6]
